Ukraine war: corruption scandals and high-level rifts could become an existential threat as Kyiv asks for more military aid
As a new Russian offensive gets under way, Ukraine can ill afford to be mired in scandal and disunity.

Ukraine has survived two years of bitter conflict, despite this endemic corruption, and has showed remarkable resilience in the face of Russia’s aggression. But these high-profile scandals – and the general perception that Ukraine still battles everyday corruption – have become more existential threats at a time when Ukraine’s survival has, to a large extent, become dependent on the continued supply of western military and financial aid.
Sceptics in the EU – above all Hungary and Slovakia, but also influential right-wing populists currently in opposition like Germany’s AfD – have used undeniable corruption as one argument against further aid for Ukraine. Similarly, in the United States, Republicans have argued that a lack of oversight could mean that US aid is diverted to line the pockets of corrupt officials.

Without real headway being made in the fight against corruption, the broadly pro-western and pro-European constituency from which Zelensky draws most of his support is also likely to weaken. A European future will look less attractive to people who see western support as simply propping up a corrupt elite.
And even if, as is likely, support for European and transatlantic integration will remain high, Zelensky may no longer be seen as its only or most likely champion.
Corruption, therefore, remains central to Ukraine’s existential crisis. It is not the only problem that the country faces, and objectively it may not even be the biggest one. What makes it so critical for Ukraine to fight corruption more effectively, and to be seen to do so, is that corruption and the perception of corruption exacerbates other problems and undermines critical domestic and western support.
On its own hence, corruption is unlikely to break Ukraine. But in the midst of a war, it may be the final straw that breaks the country – because of the knock-on effects at home and abroad.
Real Americans seek Moscow ’s 
defeat.
Actually, our dear European 'friends' just raised their demands to the level 'decolonization and dechristianisation of the whole Russia'.
I heard there were suitcases with millions of dollars people just walked away with it, unbelievable the American public have ever tolerated this gangsterism.
Private jets were loading money up and flew off with it...
Paton was a general at the time when the United States did fight to win. Today we fight to make corrupt politicians and the military industrial complex wealthy.“Americans play to win all the time.
I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost, and laughed.
That's why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war.
The very thought of losing is hateful to America.”
- Gen. George Patton
