.. as the EU partners try to free Z. from the noose hanging around his neck ... best way to proceed for more war ... Putin has to be stopped and Russia defeated. Don't believe in any change ... Europeans have no options and have refused to utter the word PEACE for over 4 years. Biden is gone ... damnit ... and the autopen.

Ukraine - Roadblocks To A Peace Agreement
A piece on Ukrainian corruption in today's NY Times can be seen as an urgent warning:
Zelensky's Government Sabotaged Oversight, Allowing Corruption to Fester (archived)
The Khmelnytsky power plant was lightly damaged, according to Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky - October 2023 (BBC)
Ukrainian leaders blame independent advisers for failing to prevent graft. A Times investigation found that President Volodymyr Zelensky's own administration removed guardrails.
To protect their money, the United States and European nations insisted on oversight. They required Ukraine to allow groups of outside experts, known as supervisory boards, to monitor spending, appoint executives and prevent corruption.
Over the past four years, a New York Times investigation found, the Ukrainian government systematically sabotaged that oversight, allowing graft to flourish.
President Volodymyr Zelensky's administration has stacked boards with loyalists, left seats empty or stalled them from being set up at all. Leaders in Kyiv even rewrote company charters to limit oversight, keeping the government in control and allowing hundreds of millions of dollars to be spent without outsiders poking around.
Supervisory boards serve an essential oversight function, allowing independent experts, typically from other countries, to scrutinize major decisions inside Ukrainian state-owned companies.
Isn't it funny that the NY Times has known this `for the past four years' and was only now ready to reveal it? It is quite obvious that something has switched.
Nothing has changed for decades whether by Russia leaning administration or the more recent government imposed by VP Joe in 2014 and as president in 2022.
