The president's office should fire two senior officials to fight corruption in Ukraine

Western partners are asking Zelensky's office to fire several officials most involved in corruption. This will help unblock the supply of weapons and money to Ukraine, said political scientist Mykola Davydyuk on his YouTube channel.

Ukraine is currently walking a very uncomfortable tightrope, with some people not wanting to give money and others not wanting to give weapons.

Britain stated that it had exhausted its options to support Ukraine with weapons and turned to other allies. With a similar statement at the security industry forum, Europe comes out saying that "yes, we have exhausted ourselves too", says Davydiuk.

“The Telegraph” and “Politico” write about a similar story, but already in the European Union. Everyone says they can no longer give from their own reserves. Britain and the US want other countries to join and Ukraine to produce more itself.

It seems that there is some “conspiracy” going on, we are being pushed into a dead end. Yes, this is partially true, but it is due to corruption, explained Mykola Davydyuk. The political scientist notes that, citing sources in the Verkhovna Rada, Western partners are asking the Ukrainian authorities to fire two or three officials within two weeks, without giving their names and surnames. “The leader or his two deputies... The West claims that these three people are the main source of corruption, choose because you want.

They asked for the dismissal of three, our team decided to dismiss two out of three in the Chancellery of the President", notes the political scientist.

According to him, this should at least partially unblock the supply of weapons and money for a certain period.

"We have to get out of this crisis because it is a moment of survival for us, for us and for our country," added the political scientist.

According to Davydiuk, the approach should be changed because "nobody wants to see corrupt people in power".

Corruption in Ukraine hampers the US

Confidential US strategy shows Joe Biden's administration is more concerned about corruption in Ukraine than it shows.

The United States' long-term plan outlines numerous steps Washington is taking to help Kyiv root out abuses and reform a range of Ukrainian sectors. The document emphasized that corruption could force Western allies to stop Ukraine's fight against the Russian invasion, and Kyiv cannot delay the fight against bribery.

The document states that perceptions of high-level corruption could undermine the trust of the Ukrainian public and foreign leaders in the wartime government.

The Biden administration wants to pressure Ukraine to curb bribery as U.S. dollars are at stake. Moreover, a loud discussion on this topic may embolden opponents of American aid to Ukraine, including many Republican legislators who are trying to block such aid. If America weakens its support for Kyiv, it could make more European countries think twice before helping.
