Corruption in Ukraine

by tempeste

 
Corruption drops to a new low
while Zelensky pretends he didn't know.

Who is this clown
trying to fool.
A fish rots from the head down
hence his woes
will continue to grow ten folds.

The Ukraine Prosecutor General
has resigned amid scandal
over false draft exemptions,

while American tax dollars continue
to fund this corrupt state.

Zelensky, elected in May 2019,
did nothing to rid the corruption
because he was and is still part of it.

His five year mandate is done
and his government now
is a dictatorship.

 
All he spews is bullshit
and he has no qualms to ship
untrained youths to the front to die
while government officials were dodging
military service on false basis.

A fish rots from the head down is a metaphor. Corruption begins at the top and spreads throughout an organisation .. a government.

And if you are asking WHY Zelensky now brought this matter into the light ''it is because he is desperately in need of troops to send to the meat grinder/the front line.

The war was lost already last September but Biden rather than acknowledge defeat, wants the war to drag on at least until after the elections.

Young Ukrainians, after only six weeks of training, are being sent to the front, and most within two days die.
