JonPreston: "List a link to an account that shows corruption is being eliminated."

Without even looking it up, I can think of more Ukrainians big wigs arrested or fired for corruption that Russians and American leaders combined.

That's why Ukraine's objective "Corruption Index" has steadily improved over the years from one of the worst to now much better than Russia's.
In the meantime, Russia's Corruption Index has remained about the same and the USA has gotten worse by 10% in just the past few years.

So, here is what Bing AI gave me for answers:

    "I found a few news articles that report on Ukrainian officials who have been fired or arrested for corruption.
    Here are some of the most recent ones:

  1. "According to a report by PBS NewsHour, several senior Ukrainian officials, including five front-line governors, lost their jobs in January 2023 in a corruption scandal plaguing President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s government as it grapples with the nearly 11-month-old Russian invasion 1.

  2. "In August 2023, more than 30 Ukrainian conscription officials accused of taking bribes and smuggling people out of the country were sacked in an anti-corruption purge 2.
    (this might possibly be where some of the insane anger against Denys Davydov comes from).

  3. "The Guardian reported that President Volodymyr Zelenskiy recently sacked Oleksii Reznikov as defence minister.
    There are also numerous court cases against various defence ministry officials.
    Separately, one of Ukraine’s most notorious oligarchs, Ihor Kolomoisky, has been arrested on suspicion of fraud and money laundering, and is in pre-trial detention 3.

  4. "CNN reported that President Volodymyr Zelensky has fired a slew of senior Ukrainian officials amid a growing corruption scandal linked to the procurement of war-time supplies, in the biggest shakeup of his government since Russia’s invasion began 4.

    Please note that this is not an exhaustive list and there may be other officials who have been fired or arrested for corruption in Ukraine."

Sadly, from my perspective, nobody in Ukraine is more corrupt than our own home-grown Democrats, beginning at the very top, or more in need of spending quality time behind bars contemplating the negative consequences from living a life of organized political crime.

Silly Neocon, doing that George Bush fuzzy math again. The same nonsense Mayorkas and Biden try to push past sleepy American dolts.

More illegals apprehended at the border is an indication of a much bigger illegal problem. It doesn't mean our border crisis is resolved. Likewise, more "Ukrainians big wigs arrested or fired for corruption" actually means there is still a much larger number of corrupt actors at play. Unless you believe that Zelensky is actually Churchill-like and has the endemic, decades long, theft and corruption (the same problem CIA director William Burns has addressed with Zelensky personally) under control.
