International Massive corruption probe in Ukraine and wave of resignations/sacking including defense minister

[cottagecheesefan]

Deputy Defense Minister and several regional Governors and other officials. Pretty interesting time for this as Biden is pushing a tank build up and General Miley was just there, perhaps planning a Spring offensive. Germany also just announced they will be sending tanks over there.

A top presidential adviser and four deputy ministers - among these two defense officials, along with five regional governors were forced out of their posts. And among the regional governors to step down included officials overseeing regions which have seen intense fighting, including the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, where Russian forces have lately reported gains.

I thought Biden was doing the exact opposite of pushing for a tank build up.

[SummerStriker]

Good. Everyone knew the corruption is there. Now it is getting burned out. Part of the process.

Btw, @HockeyBjj i see you in this thread, I thought the corruption and resignations was thread worthy, but feel free to merge into mega thread

yes, talks of a build up for a spring offensive have started last few days





As you can see, the media already quickly getting onboard with the push for a Spring offensive to take back the eastern region.

I think it can stand on it's own, particularly if the conversation can stay on what these 5? men are accused of and not some spiral into Hunter Biden claims because of a 700 view video on youtube

 

[White Whale]

Not really surprising. When billions was given people warned Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

 

[French Canadian]

In Eastern Europe you can conveniently remove people based on corruption and you have a 99,99% chance of it being true. The next ones will be the same.

Corruption and the Military machine?
Inconceivable

At least 5 major people apart of the admin, including defense minister. And then also 5 regional governors, two of which are in regions with heavy combat, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.

so at least 10, in addition to some of their underlings and such. Interesting to have at least 3 officials tho in the defense dept and then 2 governors in heavy combat regions.

I had posted this CBS segment form the summer about them stating only about 30% of western weapons coming in are going to where they supposed to. Of course it was scrubbed cause bad publicity for Ukraine.



But if you think of it. I we send 100 billion in weapons and only 30% going where it should, that is 70 billion of weapons and/or military grade equipment going to people it should not be.

just like 80 billion in Afghanistan ?

that is 150-160 billion of arms going unaccounted for in like a years time lol. What the fuck are we even doing here. Just heavily arming unstable regions known for massive corruption

 

[jimjamjammer]

Remember when people were asking if the Admin knew where the money was going? I guess they didn't.

 

[Saye_mc]

Exactly why the Dems tried to Impeach trump, they didn't want this getting out. Ukraine has been a money laundering scheme for many years for many politicians on both sides of the Isle

Largely agree but if there's any scenario where an endemically corrupt countries can change its under extreme circumstances like this one. Zelensky is immensely popular as a war time president, if he's not corrupt himself he could probably sack a lot of powerful people. He's already banned political parties amid other measures, he's a quasi-dictator at this point so he does have the power to change things and maybe this is an encouraging sign he's moving in that direction.

It isn't correct.
They are 24/7365 awailable and quickly are able to answer where and how weapons are used and to show in said hot spots too.....
Also they had returned all spent missile canisters/ containers for MANPADS our MoD had supplied them in last batch.

Different question is about civilian stuff and $ transfers...

If in some cases 1 egg for military might cost 3X more than in supermarket, then imagine...
