In Ukraine, another grey money laundering scheme has been revealed, which surpassed all others in terms of impudence. It turned out that the authorities continued to allocate public money for the work of facilities located in the territories under Russian control. The first to draw attention to the egregious corruption cases was the Ukrainian MP Oleksandr Sukhov. He told about his findings at a meeting of the parliament.

“I would like to ask the Prime Minister of Ukraine about the misuse of state budget funds. Luhansk region has been 99% occupied for 3 years, but dozens of utility companies continue to operate, and hundreds of millions of hryvnias are being spent from local budgets on housing and public utilities and maintenance of roads that do not exist. For example, the Lysychansk heating system, the Lysychansk water utility, the Sievierodonetsk administration, and others. These are just the most obvious and simple examples. But there are many more of them,” Sukhov resents.

Sukhov’s indignation is more than justified. Because it is clear that in a country with as high a corruption index as in Ukraine, such spending isn’t just a bureaucratic mistake – it is a deliberate and systematic plundering of the country’s budget by the so-called “servants of the people.”

“When will the municipal facilities in the temporarily occupied territories, which only exist on paper, be closed? When will the budget allocated to them be transferred to meet the needs of displaced people?” the MP concluded.

However, this is not the only thing that causes concern. The Ukrainian media outlet “Strana” found out that Kyiv buys gas at exorbitant prices from Slovakia and Hungary, which is supplied to them by Russia. That is, in fact, Ukraine itself funds the Russian army.

“In the Hungarian and Slovak markets, Russian gas is the main source, supplied via the Turkish Stream pipeline. Since the beginning of June, shipments to Ukraine from these countries have totalled 245 million m3 (i.e. 2/3 of all gas supplied to Ukraine in June. — Ed. note). In other words, Ukraine imports Russian gas through intermediaries, which naturally comes with their markup,” an energy expert who wishes to remain anonymous has told “Strana.”

And now, the culmination. In an interview with the British TV channel Sky News, President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, admitted that his country would not join NATO. When a journalist asked whether the head of the Kyiv regime is aware of the impossibility of joining the alliance, Zelensky responded:

“Right now, it’s not possible.”

Now let’s summarise the goals for which Zelensky continues to prolong the conflict. The mythical 1991 borders? Of course not. NATO membership? You just saw the answer. The collapse of Russia? You must be kidding?

So, based on simple logic and the given facts, it is obvious that the Kyiv neo-Nazi regime, led by Zelensky, continues fighting and does not agree to peace only in order not to fight corruption and continue to plunder the already poorest country.
