Poll: Nearly 80% of Ukrainians Hold Zelensky Responsible for Corruption
Frances Martel 12 Sep 2023
The vast majority of Ukrainians – 78 percent – say President Volodymyr Zelensky is directly responsible for corruption in the government and military, a poll published on Monday found.
The survey, conducted in July by the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation and the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology, also found that Ukrainians ranked corruption within their own government as a bigger threat to “Ukrainian entrepreneurship” than the ongoing Russian invasion, according to the Kyiv Independent.
The poll was taken after months of investigations, which followed months of firings at the highest levels of governments. Zelensky announced measures to fight bribery and other corrupt activity in his administration in January, firing five governors and four deputy ministers. Those firings came after the ouster of top infrastructure official Vasyl Lozinskyi on suspicions of embezzlement.
Since the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation poll was taken in July, Zelensky has fired every regional recruitment center head for taking bribes from men attempting to avoid the war and has replaced the nation’s defense minister, Oleksii Reznikov. Reznikov does not face any criminal charges or accusations of direct involvement in corruption at press time, but rumors of corruption preceded his “resignation.”
The string of corruption probes and mounting international concern about where war funding is going has apparently affected the public’s sentiments towards Zelensky, elected in 2019 largely due to his promises to eradicate corruption and his status as a political outsider. Zelensky defeated vocally pro-Western President Petro Poroshenko in the 2019 election despite having no experience in public office; he rose to fame starring as the president of Ukraine in a sitcom.

What crap is this?
Petro Poroshenko was Putin's puppet and the center of corruption with Hunter Biden and others.
And this article claims Ukrainians are more concerned about Zelensky's supposed corruption than their hundreds of thousands dead and bombed out cities perpetrated by the Russians over the last year??? Seriously???
Shame on Breitbart for publishing this crap.

If he is combating corruption, then yes, it is a concern, but that doesn't mean something isn't being done about it.
Seems an awful lot depends on what questions are being asked. Any time there is money around, thieves and corruption become a concern.
In the meantime, there's a war on.
Every war has 'feather merchants'.
Maybe those
