Standing alone, the corruption raises a lot of red flags, but it also takes on sinister proportions as we see Ukraine move toward Turkey.
Europe now has no more corrupt country than Ukraine. For the third consecutive year, the country has been grappling with the repercussions of an ongoing war, seeking ways to sustain and operate all governmental institutions while relying heavily on international aid. Additionally, as was to be expected, within the Ukrainian government, there are individuals who are still attempting to profit amid a substantial budget shortfall.
Most Ukrainian ministers are currently someone’s proteges, with real power concentrated in the hands of several characters who influence decision-making and receive financial rewards. One such group is the State Property Fund of Ukraine (“SPFU”), which manages the privatization, leasing, assessment, and seizure of state assets. The SPFU operates under the supervision of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak. Until recently, Yermak’s deputy for economic matters, Rostislav Shurma, oversaw the fund.
Shurma’s career ended this September after allegations of corruption and fostering a negative image of the official in the media. The US was rumored to have refused to work with him and insisted on his dismissal. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as befits a person who does not make independent decisions regarding his country’s domestic policy, complied with the instructions of Biden’s associates. Consequently, Shurma found himself unemployed.

Does the Ukraine even have a government or is it just a bunch of grasping thugs who have played US politicians like a violin?
Only in your imagination, it doesn’t measure out that way.
Hunter got millions from Ukraine energy company Burisma, despite knowing nothing
about energy...... or Ukraine..... destroyed the fiction that this was a merit-based business.
Even more to the point.....board member Hunter never set foot in Ukraine.
He tried to do that before and Nancy Pelosi impeached him for it.
I think the next Congress should expunge both of his ridiculous impeachments.
Hmmm 🤔
Pentagon fails 7th audit, can’t fully account for $824 billion
Gee, that changes all international rankings.
Biden bundling billions of tax dollars to Ukraine means somebody’s getting filthy rich.
We needs to determine when the demented nincompoop put Hunter,
drjill, and the money hungry Biden Crime Family on the Ukraine payroll.....
<><>pocketing pensions, perks, stipends, bonuses, expense accounts,
<><>govt credit cards, Cadillac health and life insurance,

I wonder if Nazi Pelousy is sharing her insider trading tips with Saint Volodymyr?
Pre-2014 under Russian control Ukraine was one of the most corrupt countries on Earth. Since the initial invasion of Russia in 2014, the Ukrainians have indeed rooted out a lot of corruption, Russian criminals and traitors:

The narrative that Ukraine is hopelessly corrupt is coming from the same people who said Russia would conquer Ukraine in 3 days, and are still blaming non-existent NATO expansion as the reason for the invasion.
Who cares about “international” rankings besides Brussels butt bandits...and you?
Tend to your own garden.
Burisma was a RUSSKIE company. ALL major Ukrainian industries were under the control of Russkie gangsters. Burisma's management in particular even fled to Russia after the initial invasion in 2014.
This is exactly why Ukrainians marched for rule of law by the millions.
LOL, well it is easier to just make up things in your angry, bitter imagination.
neo-liberals are hypocrates and your no exception.
Enjoy stamping around in your puddle of dumb.
You really are an idiot, you don’t even try to make any sense or to maintain a sense of reality, you just lash out at the world on the internet.
Biden is most corrupt US president in history with the most corrupt administration in history with the largest economy in the world imagine where the most corruption in the world is then, DC.
That is fine, but the United States ranks 24th, it does not rank 195th.
“The old European saying:”
Did you make that up?
Possible to cut them off at the knees? It would seem to me that any help they give Ukraine is going down a drain somewhere along the line. Their people need to know this. Continuing funds going to Ukraine look to be just a waste of money so a few can live well; much like it is here I’m afraid. The money needs to be retrieved....and the people doing this brought to justice.
