Yes, I understand that, my point is, if the Country wasnt at War, you/me/we wouldnt care.

There is corruption in every Government in the entire world, your focus only seems to be on Ukraine tho.

The focus is there because they ARE at war and are soaking up a lot of western cash.

How can they be left unchecked and people not point out that they're leaders are using those funds to cream off and stick in their bank accounts...should we ignore it then...

Feel free to talk about it.

Its when "people" claim that 1 person has managed to take 1BILLLLLLLLLLION DOLLARS AND IS LIVING ON A YACHT, that things get a bit stupid, IMO.

Who claims that...

But Zelensky is bang to rights for sure. The Snowden Papers proved that.

He and his wife set up off shore shell companies for his oligarch boss Kolomoisky - who backed his career - to put his cash into.

Fact.

The feller is corrupt. He might impress some people by swanning around the world (is he ever in Ukraine these days, btw) in his daft khaki 'combat' gear but the reality is that he's as bent as a nine bob note.
 
"Discontent grows over wartime corruption in Ukraine | Euronews" https://www.euronews.com/2023/09/08/discontent-grows-over-wartime-corruption-in-ukraine

The majority of people in Ukraine blame Zelensky for the corruption.
According to a poll, corruption ranks higher than the 'Russian invasion'.
Are you trying to justify Russia invading Ukraine by pointing out corruption levels in another country.

If this was the case countries worldwide would be invaded daily.

According to the poll quoted in the article, Ukrainians are more concerned about corruption than the 'Russian invasion'. It's Ukrainians that are pointing out corruption and are so concerned have signed a petition for it to be debated in the Rada. That's why Ukrainians say 'corruption costs lives' and over 70% blame Zelensky. We don't know if Ukrainians think Russia was justified because of corruption. But they are concerned about the corruption and a majority think prosecuting corruption should be linked to weapon procurement. If the corruption doesn't stop then they think Ukraine shouldn't receive weapons.

A survey by two Kyiv pollsters released on Sept 11 found that 78% of Ukrainians hold Zelenskiy accountable for government corruption. A related poll found that 55% believe Western military aid should be conditional on fighting corruption.




It could be assumed, that if corruption doesn't stop then they don't want weapons to be sent to Ukraine.which could indicate they want the war to end, considering Ukraine is nearly totally dependent on the west for weapons.

'If Ukraine expects its international partners to stay the course, it needs to show the world it’s serious about building real institutions and stamping out corruption,” said the western diplomat. Guardian.

I think that since the current mob came to power, the UK should have been on overtime digging defensive positions.
 
Without air, or artillery, cover there is no real chance of a successful Ukraine counter offensive. Zelensky needs to sue for peace and his US warmongers may well call it a day before much longer. The fall of Avdiivka, could be the final turning point for Biden to throw in the towel. The longer Zelensky allows Ukraine to be used by the US Empire to fight a proxy war against Russia, which it's losing badly, and trade war against Germany, which the US Empire is winning and the German economy losing badly, as is the EU, the more angry will the Ukraine people become against him and his clique. Ukraine's are more concerned about corruption than the 'Russian invasion'. Hopefully, it won't be long before this US military advanture, 'money well spent to damage Russia in our (i.e US) national interests' ends for Ukraine. A negotiated settlement is the only way to hope to retain some semblance of a viable and functioning Ukraine state.
