By equating corruption to treason, Zelenskyy’s office is manipulating the public’s desire for justice, said Vitaly Shabunin, head of the Anti-Corruption Action Center (Antac), a Ukrainian nongovernmental organization that monitors graft. In reality, Shabunin added, Zelenskyy’s office is pursuing other goals: to protect high-level officials from corruption charges and obtain tools to destroy opponents.

      This user has posted this same comment in multiple threads. Clearly they have an agenda or something.

      Bad faith personal attacks clearly are a sign of “concern for human beings,” we could all learn from you.

        “I know you are but what am I”

        Tankies really have no coherent arguments
