The FTX scam and the connection between the US Democrats and the Ukraine has been detailed at the blog this week. Apart from the big issue of the Ukrainian biolabs there is just simple corruption. Masses of high-ranking Ukrainian officials including atop presidential adviser and four deputy ministers - among these two defence officials, along with five regional governors, have resigned due to bribery and corruption investigations. The villains are:
- Deputy Prosecutor General Oleskiy Symonenko
- Deputy Minister for Development of Communities and Territories Ivan Lukeryu
- Deputy Minister for Development of Communities and Territories Vyacheslav Negoda
- Deputy Minister for Social Policy Vitaliy Muzychenk
- And the regional governors of Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Sumy and Kherson
What is interesting is that the system actually bothered to follow up this corruption, but I suppose that given the war time conditions, the high-living standards stood out too much. It makes one wonder how much more corruption lies festering.
