Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President Joe Biden meet in the Oval Office on Sept. 21. Graft in Ukraine has long been a concern of U.S. officials all the way up to Biden. But the topic was deemphasized in the wake of Russia’s February 2022 full-scale invasion. | Evan Vucci/AP
Politico: Leaked U.S. strategy on Ukraine sees corruption as the real threat
A report obtained by POLITICO details specific plans to reform Ukrainian institutions and warns Western support may hinge on cutting corruption.
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.

ReplyDeleteI DO NOT GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT CORRUPTION IN UKRAINE. THEY ARE GETING THE JOB DONE. RUSSIA IS BEING PUSHED BACK AROUBND BAKHMUT, KHERSON AND ROBOTYNE. Sometimes it is 2 steps forward and 1 step back, but it is still progress. In Robotyne when there is a back step, it is because the Russian counter attacked as part of their elastic defense and lost huge numbers of troops.
Corruption or no corruption Ukraine is holdIng back Putler.
WHAT I DO CARE ABOUT IS THE CORRUPTION IN WASHINGTON DC.
WNU IS AN INTERNET HOOLIGAN.
Sometimes....one step forwards, two steps backwards...coping copingly to cope and cope and cope some more...

ReplyDeleteYou are a committed dunce. A non thinking cave dweller who has about as much insight as a NPC.
You forgot your usual salutation of Skoda. The internet research agency should really fire you and voluntell you to be a mobik.
ReplyDelete2:53 really needs to put in a Storm Z detachment. Price of failure my friend.
ReplyDeleteWell the first poster has some issues, I would say. Laughable really, His screed reads like something to give a 5 year old or a dimwitted ANTFA member..
PUTIN BAD!
Ukraine GOOD!
Russia Fail!
Ukraine brave!
And I do not know where he has been, but even the ever precious New York (Pulitzer wining prize) Times has said after having 17,000 of Ukrainian troops killed in the last 3 months, they have not gained any territory...... when you look at the whole front line.
Also look at the latest Ukie brigade strength...does not look good for your team out there.
Face it, and stop sniffing the airplane glue of NEOCON bullshit. The Ukies are not wining. They are barely holding thier own and those 9 western combat brigades got chewed up.
And because of unthinking idiots like you, the west is dumping millions, if not billions, of dollars down a sucking rat hole.
What a mess.
You are 31 Trillion in debt, your infrastructure is crumbling, your education system sucks, your culture is developing into a demented-depraved mess, your border is a bleeding chest wound, and many of your cities are practically lawless and you are being led by a dementia patient.
And you want to throw more money at The Ukraine....
You truly are a super genius.
funny, flustered russian troll bastards
ReplyDeleteBiden administration worried about corruption, lololololololol!
ReplyDeleteNo matter if that's true, the Biden administration is searching a "good" reason for going away of the war it created.
