Z is a crook and people who were in on the corruption should all be sent to the meat grinder. Including American politicians and individuals who were in on the corruption.

--- "Z is a crook and people who were in on the corruption should all be sent to the meat grinder. Including American politicians and individuals who were in on the corruption."

Some additional links:

"NABU said it had documented the activities of a 'high-level criminal organization' allegedly led by a 'businessman well-known to the media.'

'Its members built a large-scale corruption network influencing strategic state enterprises, including Energoatom,' NABU said in a statement. The bureau alleged that participants received illicit kickbacks worth 10% to 15% of contract values from Energoatom’s contractors."

"This was reported by MP Yaroslav Zhelezniak, according to Censor.NET.

" 'Let me remind you that they were leading the 'financial part' at Tymur Mindich. And they are defendants in the FBI case) Mykhailo Tsukerman is a long-time childhood friend of Mindich’s relative, Leonid Mindich. Who also tried to flee in the summer, but the NABU managed to intercept him ).

" 'By the way, he was fleeing to the United States),' the parliamentarian noted."

"In July, Ukrainska Pravda, citing a source within Ukraine's anti-corruption agencies, reported that the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) were preparing to file charges against Mindich. This apparently spurred Zelenskyy to launch his short-lived attempt to curb NABU’s and SAPO’s independence.

"Yaroslav Yurchyshyn, chairman of Ukraine's parliamentary Freedom of Speech Committee, told NV that the impending charges against Mindich—proved to be 'the last straw' for Zelenskyy’s administration.

"Ukrainska Pravda also reported that NABU and SAPO wiretapped Mindich at a Kyiv address where Zelenskyy celebrated his birthday five years ago. Sources said the recordings might include conversations with the president, but no official confirmation has been released. It remains unclear whether the intercepted calls referred to corrupt activities."

deforest: "Z is a crook and people who were in on the corruption should all be sent to the meat grinder.

A key point to understand here is that Volodymyr Zelensky's Servant of the People political party ran for election in 2019 on an anti-corruption platform (among other promises).
Since election in 2019, we've seen a steady stream of reports from Ukraine on investigations, arrests & prosecutions of Ukrainians for corruption.
Such reports have helped to improve Ukraine's Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) because they represent serious efforts to root out corruptions.

For a comparison, higher CPI scores are better, 100 is best:

  1. 2015 USA scored 76
    2019 USA scored 69
    2024 USA scored 65 -- down by 11

  2. 2015 Ukraine scored 27
    2019 Ukraine scored 30
    2024 Ukraine scored 35 -- up by 8

  3. 2015 Russia scored 29
    2019 Russia scored 28
    2024 Russia scored 22 -- down by 7
This is a listing of some of Ukraine's major corruption cases, in date sequence:

Major Ukraine Corruption Cases since 2019 as of November 2025

YearCaseDescriptionEstimated AmountRemarks
2015–2016
charged in 2020
Kyiv Customs OfficialsBribery and smuggling ring exposed~$1.3 millionsource

Ihor KolomoiskyEmbezzlement from PrivatBank and oil firms~$1.9 billionFormer Zelensky ally Kolomoisky jailed in Kyiv
2020

State Food and Grain CorporationEmbezzlement and kickbacks on port contracts~$4 millionsource
2021Odesa Port AuthorityFraud in grain exports and credit lines~$57 millionsource
2022Defense Ministry ProcurementInflated contracts for military gear~$2.7 millionsource
2023Deputy Infrastructure Minister Vasyl LozynskyArrested for accepting bribes on heating contracts~$400,000source
2024Chernyshov & Kyiv Developer RingLand fraud and bribery involving Zelensky ally~$10 millionZelensky appointee
2025Energoatom Kickback SchemeNuclear infrastructure contracts skimmed for bribes~$100 millionZelensky business partner

Bottom line: there's no doubt that corruption in Ukraine is a major problem, but unlike Russians and Americans, Ukrainians are seriously prosecuting their corrupt officials and business leaders.
