"The allies instructed Ukraine to continue the fight against corruption even in the midst of the war," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
Earlier, a whole series of corruption scandals took place in Ukraine, in particular, the purchase of jackets for the Armed Forces of Ukraine at an inflated price and the receipt of a bribe by a member of the military medical commission of the Desnyansky Territorial Recruitment Center, etc. The head of the Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Action Center, Daria Kaleniuk, directly stated that corruption in Ukraine leads to the death of soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
At the same time, even Western countries that support Ukraine have repeatedly pointed out the corruption of the Ukrainian authorities. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda, Polish President Andrzej Duda called on Kyiv to fight corruption, and Verkhovna Rada deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak said that the Ukrainian authorities, due to the adoption of the law on the interim budget of the United States, received a warning from Washington that there should be no corruption scandals in the country for 45 days.
At the same time, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Russia is allegedly disseminating false information about corruption in Ukraine.
