.....stop the Ukrainian prosecutor from investigating its owner Mykola Zlochevsky.

So the Ukrainian government were the good guys in this, until the corrupt Bidens stepped in?

Kinda spoils your Russian-inspired narrative attacking Ukraine.

The implosion of the USSR and subsequent freedom for Ukraine left in place a whole class of UkrainianSSR nomenklatura; oligarchs and government functionaries who were used to being outside anything resembling law. These people have been undermining rule of law in Ukraine from that day on. So more than a little of what pro-Putin advocates are complaining about has been efforts to clean this up. In that context, declaring martial law aids this purpose, because it cuts off some of the legal loopholes they exploited. A wise move, if there is ever to be a peaceful Ukraine with free markets, human rights, and rule of law.

Not necessarily. Corruption is not unique to one “side” or the other. They can all be bad guys. Is that so hard to understand?

These people have been undermining rule of law in Ukraine from that day on.

And Russia invading gave Biden the perfect blackmail tool: either Ukraine shuts up about what Biden and his have been doing in Ukraine or the weapons shipments will stop.

Which would also be a great reason for Biden to keep this war going on forever by giving Ukraine only enough to keep fighting, but never enough to win, along with restrictions about how the weapons can and can’t be used.

Poor Zelenskyy. Having to beg Biden for weapons to fight off Putin or surrender everything to Putin and endure whatever the victors will then do to their victims who fought back against Putin’s invasion, but lost for lack of sufficient firepower and friends.

Life comes with problems, but that’s gotta suck.
