Corruption storm in Kyiv: Zelenskyy’s former ally flees Ukraine

According to the report, a former business partner of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy fled Ukraine under cover of the night just hours before anti-corruption officers raided his home. All this came after a Monday statement by the Ukrainian anti-corruption services announcing a major operation to expose corruption in the energy sector.

In his latest interview, Ukraine’s president issued a stark warning to Europe: Russia could open a second front in Europe before the war in Ukraine ends. At the same time, the Polish Prime Minister added a warning of Russia creating a fifth column in Europe, seeking to divide the continent. And while leaders reflect on the increasing threat from Russia, Ukraine remains cold and dark following the largest-ever Russian attack on energy infrastructure.

On Sunday, three drones were spotted over a critical nuclear power plant near Antwerp. Recently, drones have disrupted airport operations in Brussels and Liege alike.

Why make a point of his being a former business partner of Zelensky? This is so manipulative and plays into the hands of the propagandists. Just remind us what happened to Kolomoisky. Most roots of Ukrainian corruption began in Russia. Keep this in mind. This is particularly true in the energy sector.

The situation in Ukraine and the region in general is highly complex and nuanced, often not reflected in sensationalist headlines. Mentioning a former associate of Zelensky fleeing just before a raid might seem suspicious, but it could also have legitimate explanations that don't necessarily involve direct corruption. It's important not to be swayed by the simplistic narrative that seeks to create a common enemy—in this case, Russia or local political figures. Ukraine's history is riddled with external influences, especially from Russia, in various spheres, including energy and politics. Corruption in Ukraine has deep roots, and many cases appear to be intertwined with both external and internal interests. Instead of focusing solely on the accusations, it would be more helpful to analyze the full context, understand the geopolitical dynamics, and avoid information manipulation. The reality is far more nuanced and requires a critical approach.

It was also believed that corruption started in Russia and those who were there before the split of the USSR already had the habit of corrupting, which they carried over to Ukraine.
