Don’t expect the U.S. government to do anything about Ukrainian corruption. There are too many in the U.S. who profit from that corruption. From Dave Decamp at zerohedge.com:
A leaked US government strategy shows the Biden administration is far more concerned about corruption in Ukraine than it’s publicly letting on, Politico reported on Monday.
The State Department quietly released a 22-page public version of an Integrated Country Strategy for Ukraine that makes clear corruption is a major concern for the US. The strategy outlines long-term goals for US policy in Ukraine with an emphasis on rooting out corruption. “Ukraine must slay the corruption dragon once and for all,” the public version of the document reads.
According to Politico, the confidential version of the strategy is three times as long and uses even stronger language when discussing Ukraine’s corruption.
“Perceptions of high-level corruption,” the confidential document warns, could “undermine the Ukrainian public’s and foreign leaders’ confidence in the war-time government.”
