“Corruption is an Existential Threat to Ukraine, and Ukrainians Know it”/By Farah Stockman, New York Times
This is one of the best articles I have read on corruption in Ukraine, because it focuses on efforts being made by Ukrainians, and Ukrainian institutions. As the article states, “But guess who hasn’t shied away from calling out corruption in Ukraine? Ukrainians. No one knows better what an existential threat corruption can be, sapping the public trust and the legitimacy of the state. Ukrainians consider corruption the country’s second-most-serious problem, behind only the Russian invasion.”
The article describes how Ukrainian news outlets are exposing incidents of corruption, including “Our Money” that broke a major story about graft in defense procurement, or Bihus that “took aim at Bohdan Torokhtiy, a lawmaker from Zelenskyy’s Faction whose wife, Alina Levchenko, documented high-end stays at resorts and villas across Europe and the Middle East on Instagram in the early days of the Russian invasion while other Ukrainians were fending off the attack.”
Ukraine had a system of public wealth declarations for public officials. The article reports that “last week, lawmakers in Kyiv passed a bill that would reinstate the obligation to declare, but keep the information closed to the public for a year or longer.” 83,000 Ukrainians signed a petition demanding that Zelenskyy veto the bill.
Although much was made of the recent arrest of Ihor Kolomoisky, he was arrested by a law enforcement agency that is sometimes described as Zelenskyy’s “pocket police,” instead of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), an agency that West helped Ukraine establish. NABU was preparing to arrest Kolomoisky on more serious charges, that may have ended up seeing him extradited to the U.S.
The article does not mention what may likely be potentially the biggest anti-corruption development in Ukraine, the return of thousands of Ukrainian war veterans. They have not been fighting and dying on behalf of a Ukrainian judge, who was recently arrested in Moldova with $150,000 in cash hidden in pickle jars. They will hold the Ukrainian Government, up to and including Zelenskyy, to account.
News From the Battlefield
“Reporting From Ukraine” covers the increasing use of tanks, as a means to widen the Robotyne Bridgehead.
The video clips give a good idea of what the countryside looks like I have been to some of these fields. Many are so large that, because of the curvature of the earth. it is often impossible to see the other side. They offer no cover for troops trying to advance, leaving the tree lines as the only alternative, something that Russians are all-too aware of.
The map included in the “Latest Denys” shows Ukrainian advances around Robotyna, relative to Russian defense lines. He also includes updates on Ukrainian advances around Donetsk Airport and south of Bakhmut.
