That seems… Immature? I mean, in a general sense the guy on top is responsible for combating corruption, but really it’s usually a systemic and cultural issue as well.

It has to change. They won’t be able to join the EU without eliminating corruption. Zelenskyy, for his part, is firing these guys.

Lower the amount of corruption. We don’t have a country in the EU which has eliminated it.

All countries have corruption at some degree. The big thing for Zelensky is to make policy and laws to guard against it while establishing watch dogs.

Berlusconi is dead. The EU itself told Ukraine it has to cure corruption for entry.

Ukrainians should be grateful towards President Zelensky. He is a hero.

Whenever I read articles like this

https://www.theguardian.com/news/2021/oct/03/revealed-anti-oligarch-ukrainian-president-offshore-connections-volodymyr-zelenskiy

I immediately know these are Kremlin talking points, and not to be trusted.

Paradise Papers? Kremlin talking points!

The Guardian? Basically Putin’s town crier!

Any kind of nuance that maybe Ukraine and/or Zelensky might not be literally perfect? Muscovite propaganda!

Always follow the money trail. The company who completed the poll has some credibility behind it. It also produces a full financial statement. None of which shows the company is led by bad influences. It even gained 20% of its funding from the British Embassy at one point.

I cannot read the questions asked. They are shown in pictorial format and my translate programme cannot handle that. How you ask the question has a huge sway over the answers given. But since the company has the appearance of due diligence, I would see this as something that the Ukraine government should be looking at as a problem. You never fix a problem if you do not recognise it as such.

I mean, by all accounts Ukraine has a huge issue with corruption. But it’s hardly the fault of the president, although it is of course part of his job (and platform) to force this to change.

The Guardian is indeed Kremlin propaganda. Ever since Ole Jacob Sunde took over (with known ties to the Kremlin), The Guardian has very slightly shifted their editorial stance to be marginally more pro-Russian.

Exactly. So is Washington Post and Financial Times and The Economist and many others. The only person I trust is Zelensky. He is a truth-teller and a hero. Slava Ukraini.
