Wow, who would've guessed?
It couldn't be!
The allegation is that Justice Minister Herman Halushchenko and other key ministers and officials received payments from contractors building fortifications against Russian attacks on energy infrastructure.
Among those alleged to be involved are former Deputy Prime Minister Oleksiy Chernyshov and Timur Mindich - a businessman and a co-owner of Zelensky's former TV studio Kvartal95. He has since reportedly fled the country.
I forget -- whose money was Ukraine playing with at the time?
There's more:
According to Nabu, the people involved systematically collected kickbacks from Enerhoatom contractors worth between 10% and 15% of contract values.
The anti-corruption bodies also said the huge sums had been laundered in the scheme and published photographs of bags full of cash. The funds were then transferred outside Ukraine, including to Russia, Nabu said.
Prosecutors alleged that the scheme's proceeds were laundered through an office in Kyiv linked to the family of former Ukrainian lawmaker and current Russian senator Andriy Derkach.
Remember when Democrats would hiss at you like a spoiled house-cat during Biden's term if you said anything about Ukraine being corrupt? Show them this report today and present it as being Trump's fault and maybe they'll see the light.
(They might just hiss again, though, so be careful.)
Don't worry, libs, your favorite guy Zelensky has asked his cronies to step down, so everything is hunky-dory.
Ukraine's energy and justice ministers have resigned in the wake of a major investigation into corruption in the country's energy sector.
Wait, you're telling me that Ukraine's energy sector is corrupt?
How could I have known that, except for the fact that former U.S. President Joe Biden used his influence when he was vice president to get a Ukrainian prosecutor fired for investigating his son Hunter's involvement with a corrupt energy company??
President Volodymyr Zelensky called for Energy Minister Svitlana Grynchuk and Justice Minister Herman Halushchenko's removal on Wednesday.
Yeah, uhh...
We're all Russian agents now!
