Keep cleaning up that corruption Ukraine your doing great.
Love seeing the shysters getting prosecuted, well done!
Ukraine MUST clean up ALL corruption lest it becomes just like ruzzia.
No terror clean up; only due process of law with trials accessible to the citizens and the press.

Like the orc He’s Fucked
If found guilty he better get a long sentence. I am tired of seeing 12 year sentences. It does not seam to be enough of a deterrent.
I am Ukrainian. And for a loooong time I was really sceptical about any and all anti-corruption agencies in my beloved country where everything was happening despite government interference and government being rotten from a get-go.
Every previos anti-corruption thingies ended up a joke. It was disheartening to say the least.
But now, for the first time in my life, I’m hopeful. Truly am.
