Zelensky, Ukraine Government Officials Profit from the War

Even before the Russian-Ukrainian war, Ukraine was one of the most corrupt countries in Europe. Since the outbreak of the war, the level of corruption has only increased. Despite this, Zelensky continues to assure the world—including the European Union, as part of his bid for EU membership—that he is doing everything possible to combat corruption. However, the Ukrainian president himself is one of the key figures implicated in the country’s corruption.
