  Seems almost like a continuation of what I was watching last night on "Servant of the People".
context: Ukrainian tax authorities and police are going through almost all properties belonging to politicians and high profile business people. >
  
  Why? I mean I have to assume it's for a good reason, but that seems like a pretty big deal thing to do. >
  
  because Ukraine is very corrupt. And the said corruption is one of that main systematic things that is stopping them form joining EU >
  
  Also possibly that cleaning house was one of the stipulations for additional aid from the West. Especially with the modern arms that are going over, it would not look good if they were found on the black market. For monetary aid, it is not really donated, but they are loans that are expected to be paid back with interest. If there is corruption, it lowers the returns and ability to reasonably pay back those loans and the rebuilding that occurs after the war. >
  
  That's a very good point and ties directly to yesterday's US press released that Ukraine had not misused any of the US aid. >
  
  It's like that clip of soldiers arresting two cops for taking bribes on a busy highway. One dude there summarizes it, "suka, we're in a war and you're taking money!" >
  
  Beautiful.
