The country has a share and I have a share. If you pass this village, there will be no such easy way to make money!

As the situation in Russia and Ukraine became increasingly tense, Zelensky had repeatedly asked for more financial support from the US West.

But who can think of it, it is such a Ukrainian president who claims to have an extreme shortage of money in the country, has been publicly blown up by Republican members of the US Congress, It will transfer 50 million dollars to a Saudi bank every month!

So what on earth is going on? Will Zelensky's move further aggravate the corruption problem in Ukraine?

Nuclear bomb-level revelations from US lawmakers

One stone stirred up thousands of waves. This storm began across the ocean in the United States. Republican congresswoman Anna Luna threw a shocking accusation, pointing the finger at Ukrainian President Zelensky.

She claims a sum of up to $50 million that is transferred secretly every month. The huge money went to a supposedly Saudi bank.

Although Luna did not disclose her source, her words suggested that the money might be related to money laundering activities for certain U.S. politicians, which instantly complicated the nature of the incident.

After all, this statement is not empty, as early as August this year, the Turkish media "Yenisafak" had a similar report, also referring to the stunning figure of $50 million a month.

However, Turkish media reports are more detailed, pointing out that these funds are related to Andrei Gemilin, a former consultant of the Ukrainian State Property Fund.

It is reported that the wealth of the Gemilin family has always been very mysterious. In just two years, they snapped up Dubai real estate worth at least $14 million.

In the face of this unusual situation, the Ukrainian National Anti-Corruption Bureau was also the first time to launch an investigation, but the Ukrainian president Zelensky suddenly intervened after he did not want to hang the car to Zelensky's confidence.

Andrei Yelmak, director of the Office of the President of Uzbekistan, once refused to comply with legal procedures raided the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Supreme Anti-Corruption ProcuratorateThis makes the whole event even more intriguing.

The international community is full of doubts about the source and use of the US$50 million in funds. After all, from the perspective of funding sources alone, Ukraine's domestic economy is already riddled with holes under the impact of the war.

Financial income was drastically reduced, people's livelihoods were severe, and people's lives were difficult, in which case Zelensky was able to transfer $50 million a month to Saudi banks.

Is this money from the state finances of Ukraine, or from international aid funds, or obtained by illegal means?

It can be said that any speculation is disturbing, if it is state finance funds, it means that the Ukrainian government is moving huge amounts of money abroad in the difficult circumstances of people's lives at home.

If it is international aid funds, it is undoubtedly a serious betrayal of the trust of the international community. Those countries and people who provide aid out of goodwill will feel chilling when they learn that their help has been abused in this way.

As an important country in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia is not directly linked to Ukraine in terms of geographical location, political and economic interests.

Amid the tense situation in Ukraine and its own many difficulties, Zelensky frequently transfers to Saudi banksThis is really hard to understand.

Anti-corruption with an iron fist or selective attack

These speculations, coupled with Zelensky and his close friends¡¯ possession of several properties abroad, are enough to make most Ukrainians lose confidence in the president.

In Ukraine today, serious corruption has long been regarded as the source of the country¡¯s ¡°worst negative impact¡± and its concern has surpassed all other social issues.

People's disappointment no longer stops at verbal complaints. When the government tried to pass a law that was believed to deprive anti-corruption agencies of their independence, protests broke out in many places in Ukraine for two consecutive days.

Strong public pressure forced Zelensky to submit amendments and pushed parliament to pass a new version of the law to guarantee the independence of the anti-corruption agency in just a week.

This is enough to prove that the Ukrainian people have reached the point of zero tolerance for anti-corruption issues.

However, in the current situation, in the face of the enormous pressure of domestic and foreign strikes, the Zelensky government has shown a rather contradictory anti-corruption gesture.

Indeed, they have done a terrible deed. The most eye-catching thing is the arrest of Zelensky's former "gold owner", oligarch Igor Kolomoyski.

The wealthy man who broadcast "People's Servant" through his media channel and sent Zelensky to the political scene was arrested on suspicion of fraud and money laundering.

The Ukrainian Economic Security Bureau accused him of illegally transferring and laundering more than 500 million hryvnia (about 98 million yuan) of funds between 2013 and 2020.

In his speech at the time, Zelensky also deliberately emphasized that "the law must play a role" and those who plunder the country will no longer "get away with impunity."

Even after the passing of the new version of the Anti-Corruption Agency Independent Operation Guarantee Law, the Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Department has just revealed a major corruption case involving the military system.

A current lawmaker and National Guard officer, involved in fraud in the procurement of drones and electronic warfare equipment, these actions are undoubtedly demonstrating to the outside world his determination to govern in key areas.

These high-profile "tiger" actions in Ukraine can be detailed, but can not dispel the cloud of doubt that covers the core of power.

Fighting old oligarchs and insects in the military is not a full response to external questions about the president¡¯s office and his family¡¯s alleged acquisition of infrastructure funding through affiliates.

From approving laws that weaken anti-corruption agencies, to the rushed amendments after the crackdown, this week's dramatic turn, It also exposed the uncertainty of the Ukrainian government on the anti-corruption issue, which undermined the credibility of its actions.

conclusion

The battle against corruption in Ukraine has turned into a difficult political game, with international credibility and domestic trust at both ends of the scale.

External assistance and internal support, both of which are the cornerstones of the country¡¯s destiny, depend on Kiev¡¯s ability to deliver a truly compelling anti-corruption response.

Just relying on arresting a few typical high-profile propaganda is obviously not enough to calm the turmoil. What Ukraine really needs is an independent and transparent supervision mechanism that can touch the core of power.

Otherwise, this imbalance could eventually turn down and endanger not only the stability of a single government, but the future of the whole country.
