This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 88%. (I'm a bot)


A number of Ukrainian officials have been dismissed or resigned over the last four days amid corruption allegations as Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, attempts to take a zero-tolerance approach to the issue.
Fifteen senior officials have left their posts since Saturday, six of whom have had corruption allegations levelled at them by journalists and Ukraine's anti-corruption authorities.
The shake-up continued on Tuesday afternoon with Ukraine's cabinet of ministers announcing that five regional heads had been dismissed, only one of whom is being investigated for corruption, along with a further three deputy ministers and two heads of state agencies - none of whom stand accused of corruption.

Damn that sure is a lot of corruption. >

Much remained unchanged since USSR days.
Oligarchs owned everything, controlled everything, etc.
With the ru backers no longer in positions of power, reform is finally possible.
Also, a requirement for EU membership, hence many laws now passed to that end. >

The oligarchs came out in the 90s. They didn't exist in the USSR.
Edit: Jesus Christ on a motorbike, read some history you downvoting thundercunts. >


They didn't exist in the USSR.

They were just in the politburo and in other high ranking party positions. >

You can easily Google them. None of the Russian oligarchs were in the USSR government.
They started as entrepreneurs when Gorbychev began freeing the markets but they took form as extremely powerful individuals during Yeltsin's corrupt administration of "shock therapy". >

Gotta say, that man really rose to the occasion that only unique difficulties can bring.
I've never witnessed the making of a legendary statesman before, but I'm sure this is the real thing. >

I replied to a comment earlier similarly:
Go watch Servant of the People, it’s an uncanny coincidence that he is the real president now. >

That existence of that show is what makes me think we are living in a simulation more than anything else. >

As long as it plays out the way the show does we can live inside the Matrix a little longer. >

Well the show didn't predict the Russian occupation soooo. >

Ended too soon is all >
