The public version was released with the Corruption parts conveniently left out. There's also a nice 'Build, Back, Better" globalist reference regarding the rebuilding of Ukraine's energy sector.... lol. I thought that failed WEF agenda was DOA, especially after listening to Biden and Kamala fuck it up so bad during the 2020 election campaigns.
This comes as zero shock to anyone... and there's already rumors that Aid money being siphoned off at an alarming rate. Once again, the full story is being withheld by the Biden Admin to preserve the narrative.
Corruption accusations continue to plague top Zelenskiy aides

Leaked U.S. strategy on Ukraine sees corruption as the real threat
https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/02/biden-admin-ukraine-strategy-corruption-00119237#:~:text=A report obtained by POLITICO,may hinge on cutting corruption.&text=Biden administration officials are far,document obtained by POLITICO suggests.
Biden administration officials are far more worried about corruption in Ukraine than they publicly admit, a confidential U.S. strategy document obtained by POLITICO suggests.
The “sensitive but unclassified” version of the long-term U.S. plan lays out numerous steps Washington is taking to help Kyiv root out malfeasance and otherwise reform an array of Ukrainian sectors. It stresses that corruption could cause Western allies to abandon Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s invasion, and that Kyiv cannot put off the anti-graft effort.
“Perceptions of high-level corruption” the confidential version of the document warns, could “undermine the Ukrainian public’s and foreign leaders’ confidence in the war-time government.”
That’s starker than the analysis available in the little-noticed public version of the 22-page document, which the State Department appears to have posted on its website with no fanfare about a month ago.
The confidential version of the “Integrated Country Strategy” is about three times as long and contains many more details about U.S. objectives in Ukraine, from privatizing its banks to helping more schools teach English to encouraging its military to adopt NATO protocols. Many goals are designed to reduce the corruption that bedevils the country.
The quiet release of the strategy, and the fact that the toughest language was left in the confidential version, underscores the messaging challenge facing the Biden team.
Ukrainian graft has long been a concern of U.S. officials all the way up to President Joe Biden. But the topic was deemphasized in the wake of Russia’s February 2022 full-scale invasion, which Biden has called a real-life battle of democracy against autocracy.
For months, Biden aides stuck to brief mentions of corruption. They wanted to show solidarity with Kyiv and avoid giving fuel to a small number of Republican lawmakers critical of U.S. military and economic aid for Ukraine.
