Ukraine graft concerns resurface as Russia war goes on

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's dismissal of senior officials is casting an inconvenient light on an issue that the Biden administration has largely ignored since the outbreak of war with Russia: Ukraine's history of rampant corruption and shaky governance.

As it presses ahead with providing tens of billions of dollars in military, economic and direct financial support aid to Ukraine and encourages its allies to do the same, the Biden administration is now once again grappling with longstanding worries about Ukraine's suitability as a recipient of massive infusions of American aid.

Those issues, which date back decades and were not an insignificant part of former President Donald Trump's first impeachment, had been largely pushed to the back burner in the immediate run-up to Russia's invasion and during the first months of the conflict as the U.S. and its partners rallied to Ukraine's defense.

Ukraine's rampant corruption ... Those issues, which date back decades and were not an insignificant part of former President Donald Trump's first impeachment,

Leave it to the press to bring up a completely debunked claim about Trump while ignoring Ukraine/Biden corruption.

I think the war would have been over by now but for Biden’s bankrolling it and providing Z with high tech weapons.

Biden the butcher.

Graft? We haven’t seen anything yet. Wait until the DC oligarchs start “rebuilding” Ukraine

None other than Alexander Vindman himself penned an editorial for Foreign Affairs talking about "build back better" for Ukraine: https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/ukraine/2022-07-17/build-ukraine-back-better

Remember when Bill and Hill rebuilt Haiti? (both are wanted by Haiti now for their graft). (Really, accidently, some Haitians did get some help). Its going to be 100% worse when we rebuild, what is left of Ukraine when the war is over. Maybe Bill and Hill and work their magic on Ukraine! The USA can be tapped dry, become poorer than Mexico, and Billions will still flow into Brave Ukraine and Demo-Repubicrats coffers. (maybe a little will even get to the Ukrainian people 5%).
