Ukrainian watchdogs fume that president’s proposal to put wartime corruption on par with treason will give more power to state security service.

By equating corruption to treason, Zelenskyy’s office is manipulating the public’s desire for justice, said Vitaly Shabunin, head of the Anti-Corruption Action Center (Antac), a Ukrainian nongovernmental organization that monitors graft. In reality, Shabunin added, Zelenskyy’s office is pursuing other goals: to protect high-level officials from corruption charges and obtain tools to destroy opponents.

    What do you know about Zelensky? Did he slide into your DM? Seriously, you know exactly what everyone else knows about Zelensky... and also ignore his appearance in the Pandora papers.
