The terms Ukraine and government corruption are synonymous regardless of who is funding the schemes. After Volodymyr Zelenskyy grabbed more power by stripping two key anti-corruption agencies, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP), of their independence, protests erupted.
European leaders immediately noticed the intent of the power move and threatened Zelenskyy with a withdrawal of support. The current dictatorship of Zelensky and his small team then quickly reversed course. However, the damage is done, and once again Ukranian corruption is center stage.
It doesn’t matter how much western intelligence agencies and pro-Ukraine western govt officials try to hide the nature of the duck represented by Zelenskyy by calling him a swan, eventually the quacking returns – the mask drops.
UKRAINE – […] Some also cautioned that the agitation could spark a popular uprising like the one that toppled then-President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014. “We are now in the face of the most dangerous development in all the years since Maidan,” wrote Sevgil Musayeva, editor-in-chief of the Ukrainska Pravda newspaper. And like others, she hazarded that Zelenskyy’s powerful Chief of Staff Andriy Yermak was behind the move, amid signs that NABU is preparing cases against presidential insiders.
Eventually, with public uproar mounting, Ukraine’s president bowed to the pressure and agreed to restore the independence of the agencies — a new law turning back the clock is meant to be voted on Thursday.
Among the insiders currently under investigation are former Deputy Prime Minister Oleksiy Chernyshov and former Deputy Head of the Office of the President Rostyslav Shurma. Shurma was dismissed last year, after it emerged his brother was receiving green subsidies from the Ukrainian government for solar plants operating in Russian-occupied Donbas. Coincidentally, Shurma’s Munich home was raided by NABU investigators and German police in mid-July.
“It is critical not to lose the unity. To listen to people, to have dialogue, and so on,” Zelenskyy told reporters at a press briefing on Friday, explaining his about-face and consequent decision to restore the independence of the agencies in question.
QUACK!
[…] some civil society leaders think targeting the agencies is a sign that Zelenskyy and his clan-like group of aides are starting to panic about his poor polling numbers. As it stands, his chances of winning the next election, when it is eventually held, appear remote, with former armed forces commander General Valery Zaluzhny, who Zelenskyy fired after clashing over war strategy, seen as most likely to get elected.
[…] The street protests in Ukraine have put Zelenskyy on notice, and they’re an indication that patience is wearing thin. (read more)
Everywhere you travel in Europe the one constant amid the ordinary working-class is their knowledge that Ukraine is a bastion of political corruption. The summer coastline of Europe is full of Ukrainian govt officials and very wealthy Ukranian businessmen spending money, a lot of money, that everyone knows is coming from USA and European subsidy.
Visible Ukraine corruption is a joke amid those who cannot afford pretending and those in the service industries in the vacation resorts all along the European coast.
Making it all worse, is the in-your-face aspect of it very visible from the Ukrainians staying in luxury hotels, villas and opulent residences while sneering through their designer sunglasses. “Meh, or she, is Ukrainian,” is the simple response to the rudeness when noted.
There may be no love for Vladimir Putin within the muscle memory of some older populations within some former Soviet states. However, amid the working-class and the portion of the younger generation self-inoculated from western propaganda, opinion of Zelenskyy is even lower.
Eastern European support for the Zelenskyy regime is akin to U.S. support during the Biden regime. The pretending exists in media and government officials’ proclamations only.
Don’t kid yourself, the politicians know it.
Zelensky is a money laundering fraud. He is a little dictator propped up by globalists and they use him as there cash cow. I pray that Zelensky and his cronies fall from power everyday. Then there really may be peace between Ukraine and Russia.
If that little cokehead worm survives another 6 months among the living it will be some kind of miracle. He and his corrupt pals have destroyed 100s of thousands of lives. There has to be a lot of Ukrainians who want him gone permanently
The little gay dictator doesn’t want peace. He wants more money…….Again and again and again and….
The party’s almost over.
it is mostly OUR money and treasure.
until our support is withdrawn, this will continue, whether it is he or the next puppet. Z is not the issue, because he is just the pawn. it is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA that is the other party to this war.
I agree with you Muley! look at our infrastructure—crumbling—while we send billions to Ukraine AND Israel! Does not make any sense.
Well, at least we found out who actually owns the United States!
no sense send $$$ to KHAZARS……
Yeah but, it’s Ukrainian blood and guts. That’s gotta hurt.
They will have a hell of a time recovering.
Corrupt government needs to be defunded and we need to oust our politicians who continue to agree to fund it. Someone needs to find where the money is coming from. It’s not just NGOs something’s afoot that we can support the crooks and pay the salaries of Ukraine’s government! It’s time to expose the traitors and leave them behind. Our country is falling to pieces and the only one trying to fix it is President Trump! No foreign aid to anyone until this war ends! The American citizens can’t bare anymore financial debt paying for foreign wars.
GO! DOGE. PJDT: Kindly bring back our $$$, and let Putin fix Z’s little red wagon.
DOGE should be putting all their microscopes onto “NED” (the National Endowment for Bureaucracy, that is, “Democracy.”).
Puppet installed by Anthony Blinken and Victoria Nuland.
And many other American politicians.
Don’t give anyone a pass because their on your side of the aisle.
2 KHAZARS..
I pray that our US Tax dollars stop going to Ukraine, Nato and weapons to Ukraine!!!!!
I have never liked or trusted him
…z could be a fall guy…
Someone(s) wanted him there…
Maybe something else should have a little fall from grace ?
hmmm…
“their” cash cow…. lol
“However, amid the working-class and the portion of the younger generation self-inoculated from western propaganda, opinion of Zelenskyy is even lower.”
Conscription squads kidnapping your kids in the middle of the night tends to have that effect.
And, the workaday Ukrainian at constant risk of conscription into a useless cause is probably resentful of Nudelman Nuland’s puppet, with the wife on the cover of Vogue (verboten territory for the stunning Mrs. Melania Trump).
God bless the average Ukrainians; may a Solzhenitsyn arise from their ranks to bring some good from this debacle which, properly timed, has been ongoing for a dozen years.
Or a reincarnation of Bulgakov, where ‘the devil take’ Z as the Russian expression goes.
It’s difficult to “God bless the average Ukrainians”. They all look culpable to me.
Look harder and get educated. The average Ukrainians are not culpable when they are at gunpoint from their own government that has shut down opposing parties, free press, and even the churches. My wife’s average Ukrainian family is still trapped there and they don’t care if Russian takes land in exchange for peace. The wan’t the killing to stop and regardless which side of the border the end up on, they’ll still be under the thumb of a corrupt, authoritarian regime.
They are no more to blame for governmental corruption than the average American is to blame for our own govt’s corruption
And before anyone replies about voting… remember that elections have been “fixed” for decades.
YES they ARE. Only a minority of citizens who are browbeaten oppose the government as they face major consequences for displaying it.
Exactly! It’s almost impossible to fathom how such a large collective of people could be so incredibly stupid as the country of Ukraine!
It’s easy to see how you can be so anti Semitic, not in this post, but many of your other posts. Typecasting entire ethnic groups comes naturally to you.
Seen to me boogy ..you do not know noting what’s going-or do not wanna know in the both countries UKR.ISRAEL …peoples waking …as Huckabee find out who really are is buddies…..in the Israel
Russ, wrote: “…with the wife on the cover of Vogue (verboten territory for the stunning Mrs. Melania Trump).”
Melania Tump has absolutely no NEED to be on the cover of Vogue. She is a beautiful, confident woman.
The Vogue thing is for INSECURE and hideous second-rate wives of corrupt criminal politicians such as Joe/Jill. etc.
We worked with some Ukrainian programmers, from L’viv. They recommended AGAINST us visiting Ukraine due to the corruption. This was ~2012.
Get rid of this POS scum already.
My belief in God will not allow me to call Z the name I want to call him. He is not worthy of President Trump’s time or effort. I hope he will recognize who and what this poor excuse for a leader really is and drop any further association with him.
CIA advises Z “hey, these guys are about to make a move on you, better get rid of them!”
CIA advises paid activists “Hey! He’s about to hide his corruption by firing anti-corruption people!”
This may or may not be true but it does show how EASY it could be.

The EU bureaucrats and Rino’s are fine with Zelensky’s corruption, speech controls and stomping down on Orthodox Christians since they do it in the EU and USA. Keeps them in power. Evil pukes all of them and I’m talking to Ms Lindsey and the rest of his Senate buddies.
From the article Sundance referenced, “Some also cautioned that the agitation could spark a popular uprising like the one that toppled then-President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014.”
But that one was complete BS. There was no outrage from the people about Yanukovych. That was manufactured by Nuland, et al. This one about Zelenksy is real.
methinks THIS one is pretty manufactured, as well. the timing and unity of the anti-Z message is pretty obvious.
Yes, I agree it is being helped along via some “manufacturing”, but there is real disgust for Zelensky among eastern Ukranians. There was nothing close to that for Yanukovych anywhere in Ukraine.
Ukrainska Pravda, “the beacon of Democracy.”🤣
N Y T ????
Not a duck. He’s a chicken with a kazoo. Always was.
The “two weeks” window from Trump to Putin is a countdown of the time the kazoo holder has left and he knows it. The EU knows it. And France has just capitulated [again or more]. Russia knows it and has been told to quit the premises.
Who’s the frog in the pan on the Ukraine stove now? They all are.
Time for the clown show to end!!
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/07/european-union-suspends-all-aid-ukraine-as-kiev/
Sounds like Trump gave them an earful. I bet the EU is just pretending and filter the funds anyway. Talk is cheap!
Nothing organic about the protests. Just the beginning of another CIA regime change. If the dog won’t jump through the hoops we’ll find another dog.
The sheer madness behind politicians shoveling hundreds of billions of dollars into Ukraine for no benefit to anyone except the very same politicians that are using taxpayer money to do it.
This has to be the biggest money grab and laundering scheme ever perpetrated.
Zelensky has personally siphoned off billions for himself.
All on the blood of their dead country men.
No, Ukraine finishes third behind the tandem of TARP and the 2009 “stimulus” bill, with COVID-19 winning that race by 40-lengths in terms of the greatest thefts in world history.
Bravo, Hokkoda. No truer words have ever been spoken!!
it is also on the back of our tax and treasure, seized from us to fund a pedoverse and collapsing empire that i could have used for any number of things that benefited my family and my country.
Amen to that! My grandchildren will be carrying the rest of the weight from this twisted escapade!
i was so optimistic when that happened that this was finally the end.
i know no one wants to hear it, but something has happened since then – something has changed behind the scenes or is brewing. its wrapped up in the putin deadline, the russiagate reveals, and the sudden epstein about-face. this should have been over by now, if he had simply honored his campaign promise. instead we keep moving closer to war because a bunch of effetes like Starmer and Lindsey are now in charge of our foreign policy.
But..but .. he build greater Israel…he will shut down those pesky screamers….
There’s no law that says Trump can’t direct CIA to “color revolution” Ukraine.
If they can collapse Ukraine inside that weird 50-day ultimatum, maybe we avoid getting sucked into direct conflict with Russia.
Don’t be surprised if the EU announcing it is suspending funding is tied, albeit indirectly, to the trade deal. (I’m going off news others have posted here.). The best leverage Trump had to break the EU from War Fever was the tariffs.
As Douglas MacGregor says, if the IC Tick can’t feed off Ukraine, maybe we can offer it Iran.
That would mean prying off the Khomeinist color revolution the Tick put in place in 1979, and potential war with Russia as well as China and the BRICS, but at least it would kick the can down the road.
Still, pulling the Tick off Ukraine would also starve the other soft color revolution we pulled off in Europe – the EU and its euro.
Trump is forcing a return to military traditions…what if the patriots in Europe were able to able to take their militaries back and use them in the coming civil war against the invaders, before the EU can use them (and its invader allies) against the patriots?
The main problem there is keeping the Tick from feeding off its source of income, the NGO syndicates that get paid to flood Europe with migrants, who are intended to be a privileged enforcer class.
(Understand, the Tick – the CIA, NED, USAID, and the like – and its other Agency kin, like the FBI, started out as Fabian revolutionaries, but soon devolve into money-grubbing criminal syndicates just like their creations in Ukraine and Iran do.
The Tick is independently funded by its criminal activities – extorting corporations, drugs, trafficking, weapons, corruption, paramilitaries- and is thus a rogue parasite largely immune to the rule of law, operating above or outside of borders.)
With Reza Pahlavi in place to defund the foreign militias (Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthi) and take the pressure off Israel and Saudi Arabia, the BRICS can do business with a lawful regime just as well as they can with Shia radicals.
With Zelenksky and his ilk gone, would take the pressure off both Russia and Europe – then Europe could get around to dealing with its Tick governments and their NGO traffickers.
And perhaps, just perhaps, we could do something with our Tick IC and its Congressional goons as well.
Stop! the cee eye aye from doing these stupid/evil ‘color revolutions’. This Country doesn’t need them, nor want them.
It’s naive to think that will ever happen. It’s statecraft 101 level stuff to use your country’s resources to destabilize another county because it benefits you in some way.
Trump needs Zelensky gone. It’s a precondition for Russia to negotiate a settlement. This anti-corruption stuff is the perfect way to do it because the Ukraine corruption is publicly indefensible despite being privately tolerated by the West.
So, create a situation that weakens Zelensky by his own hand. Then pounce when he does what he must compulsively do.
With a little luck, maybe he folds.
Excerpt from article (Editor note: Yipes!!!)
“Everywhere you travel in Europe the one constant amid the ordinary working-class is their knowledge that Ukraine is a bastion of political corruption. The summer coastline of Europe is full of Ukrainian govt officials and very wealthy Ukranian businessmen spending money, a lot of money, that everyone knows is coming from USA and European subsidy.”
… ever wonder about the U.S. national debt… $ 37 trillion.. ?
How much of it is due to some people grifting…?
And other people, not paying attention…or in, on it?
hmmm…
Pretty sure, that no one knows.
But the deficit is very apparent (yet the media chooses to ignore)
imho
NABU and SAP don’t give two Hunter Bidens about corruption. They exist as an embedded control within the Ukranian government. Threatening their “independence” threatens the controllers’ ability to exert influence over the flow of corruption and the government in general. Hence the warning shots across the Great and Powerful Z’s bow in the form of protests and threats to withdraw funding.
they have an entire of country of corruption and have 7 convictions for fraud over the past 4 years.. Black markets are full of western aid from Ukraine and they even supply warriors in Iran, Syria and Africa to “help” islamic fighters. can’t find anyone cause everyone who has access to “aid” is stealing it.
“NABU and SAP don’t give two Hunter Bidens about corruption.”
NABU and SAP are the equivalent of the Mexican Federal Anti-kidnapping Police who run a side business of kidnapping!
Pop quiz
Name the US President that boosted about threatening to withhold $1B in aid to Ukraine if investigations into his son and the company he worked for did not stop.
I think his name was Otto Pen.
Well, son of a b***h…
The Z-man and the entire Ukranine war is nothing but a bit corrupt pretense………wasted lives……war is a racket and here is the prime example.
get out ..just stop
If an American president and congress decided to overstay their terms, suspend elections, then purge the nation of other parties, who would negotiate with them?
Ukraine’s oh-so convenient martial law allows them all to sit back and enjoy endless political careers… funded by the STUPID United States congress!
Why would they want to end the war? They have jobs as long as they can keep renewing martial law. Why are we involved??
In the world elites eyes Z’s crime isn’t corruption, but rather that his own corruption draws attention to theirs.
If he survives….Z will run off to some EU country……perhaps France…
the man is scum…….every thing about Ukraine war is corrupt……only the corrupt gain from it….all else suffer.
France has a long history of hosting the likes of Arafat’s wife, the first Ayatollah, etc.
Not to mention Roman Palanski (sp?), if I recall correctly…
monaco…
The disenfranchisement of Ukraine’s corruption fighting agencies signals that the end is near. Those bureaucrats that came late to the party know that time and money are running out and only open looting will catch them up.
Ukraine’s corruption fighting agencies are simply window dressing! They will make you feel better about giving Ukraine $120 billion but don’t do anything else.
I don’t disagree completely. But someone felt the need to shut them down.
Putin is so much more macho than Zelensky.
When he sizes more authoritarian power he never gives it back.
is it you Sebastian G?????/kellogg????
This man is spot on! Most people who accuse this man of a Putin puppet aren’t fit to carry his dirty underwear to the laundromat…………. including Donald Trump!!!
Well … you are certainly fit to carry anyone’s dirty underwear … anywhere!
I voted for President Trump and WAS a MAGA supporter. After seven months of watching President Trump’s handling of these wars in Ukraine and Gaza I have become completely and utterly disillusioned. Sending offensive weapons to Ukraine is not what he campaigned on. His campaign rhetoric and his actions in office don’t even remotely coincide! His handling of the economy is abysmal at best. Adding 4.5 trillion dollars to the national debt is despicable. His kissing the ass of Ursula van Der Leyden and doing any real business with the duplicitous EU is a complete about-face.
There isn’t enough space here to discuss his complete betrayal of those of us who voted for him. He has been making completely irrational statements lately and not so veiled threats to Putin and others. He doesn’t seem like the same person.
It’s sickening! We now have Biden 2.0 in office with people like Netanyahu and the DC war mongers pulling the strings. Trump has completely caved!
I ask you, “WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??”
“There isn’t enough space here to discuss his complete betrayal of those of us who voted for him.”
President Trump betrayed no one.
Looks like you have developed a very bad, and very hateful, case of TDS. And on top of that, a very big case of Putin Love. Double sad.
Exactly!!! Once the “bone crushing sanctions” are implemented it will be the beginning of the end for Putin. And after a million battlefield deaths, Trump can introduce Americans troops surgically to Ukraine, like we did in Iran and topple the Putin government. Once that is done, there will be plenty of money available to payoff the US budget deficit and increase defense spending, from the Russian spoils. And this will put China on notice over even thinking about Taiwan giving the United States time to develop the Golden Dome, get hypersonics and develop an Army and Marine Corps. fully integrated with drone and AI technology.
You do hallucinogens Curt?
43 years in law enforcement…. Where are the Epstein files he PROMISED to release? Bongino is extremely disgusted. He was an avid and very verbal supporter of Donald Trump. And Musk didn’t last long speaking out on Trump’s economic policies. Pam Bondi not releasing any files! Wake up people!!
The “files” are a red herring and a trap. You want to see the Epstein grand jury records which have not been manipulated and monkeyed with.
5’9″ or 6’3″……?????
Putin’s Net Worth
“Vladimir Putin’s official financial disclosures report a modest net worth, with an annual salary of approximately $140,000 and declared assets including an 800-square-foot apartment in St. Petersburg, a plot of land in the Moscow suburbs, and a few Soviet-era vehicles.
However, numerous reports and estimates from experts and critics suggest his actual wealth is vastly higher, with figures often cited around $200 billion. This alleged wealth is said to be hidden through a network of associates, family members, and offshore holdings, encompassing luxury assets like a $1.4 billion Black Sea mansion, a $700 million yacht named Scheherazade, a $716 million aircraft nicknamed “The Flying Kremlin,” and a collection of 700 cars and 58 aircraft. Putin’s extensive luxury watch collection, including timepieces worth up to $500,000, further fuels speculation, as these items alone cost many times his declared annual income.
While these claims are widely circulated, no definitive proof of his hidden wealth has been established.”
That last sentence is as with Zelensky – “no definitive proof”, but a lot of suspicion of mostly hidden wealth.
So who is richer, Zelensky or Putin? I doubt it’s even close.
You should worry about wealth some rinos/dinos and not worry about Vladimir Vladimirovich…..
let us not forget:
DEm Senator from VA, Mark Warner, is deep deep deep into taking Uke payola.
Warner is just as corrupt.
I vote Lindsay for next leader of Ukraine.
No need to vote. Grahamnesty and Bloomiethal are already running Ukraine.
When Biden said, “As long as it takes,” he meant as long as it takes to bankrupt America.
Take him and string him up by his twinkle toes and I’d not miss him.
Things you would never see in a real war
