the ministry bought eggs at 17 hryvnias per piece, while the average price of an egg in Kiev is around 7 hryvnias. . Did the big guy get a raise from his usual 10% ??

Isolating Zelensky, preparing to be ready to replace him when east Ukraine collapses in the next few weeks.

There will never be a day when Russia, the Ukraine, and Byelorussia are not corrupt. They are three peas in a pod.

If this happens in the American Military, you just throw your Supply Sergeant under the bus and keep on rollin’!

When this happens in American Government, no one blinks an eye and they keep on rollin’ while tossing handfuls of Taxpayer Dollars out their Limo windows!

*SPIT*

A fun, completely unconfirmed rumor:

“Deputy head of the President of Ukraine, Kyrylo Tymoshenko, has fled to Israel with 600 million.”

He did resign.

One of 6 Top Officials who have either resigned or been dismissed.......

They're dropping like flies.....I suspect since Reps. from US were there this past week they needed to orchestrate this to make Zelensky look like a good guy......though I think this has been well thought out and planned for.

Interesting that some have get out of free cards . I suspect Zelensky’s T op Advisor who got one last week , and who was running against Zelenesky for the Presidency but instead joined him last time, likely is hoping for a major role if not the Presidency ahead.

Last week Zelensky's Chief Advisor Oleksiy Arestovych resigned and has been 'candidating' in various interviews.....I suspect he's hoping to run again for Ukraines Presidency....or be Zelensky's replacement.

Firing people shows accountability, a good thing in government vs 23 years of Putin’s rule.

If they were actually cleaning house there wouldn’t be anyone left in the Ukraine government.

“Firing people shows accountability...”

The nervous agitation coming out of you delusional warmongers is so thick you can cut it with a knife.

Your view of the world is being washed away and there is nothing you can do about it except double down on the delusions.

That is why Ukraine will not stop fighting, Russian goal is to commit genocide of Ukrainians.

Alexey Milchakov is one of the neo-Nazi commanders of the Russian neo-Nazi Rusich unit which has been to Ukraine by Putin to “de-nazify” the country.

He says he is in Ukraine to kill Ukrainians so That They Can’t have Children.

Russian Fighting in Ukraine Saying Must Kill All Ukrainians So that They Have No More Children

You support the brutal invaders instead of Ukraine and you call us “warmongers”??!! Your view of the world is the one that is backward. The invaders brutalize the local populations and fly the hammer and sickle flag over them.

I support my friends and family in the Ukraine who resist Russian tyranny. You support a 23-year dictator, his palaces (the Gelendzhik palace complex alone is worth over one and a quarter billion dollars), his pedophile rings, his oligarchs, and his mercenaries. I guess you thought it would be easy to cheer for the eleven-time-zone country bullying the one-time-zone country. But Ukraine fights with the Spirit of ‘76 and freedom while your side fights for what they can loot and rape.
