After the defeat of Ukraine, it fell into a difficult situation both internally and externally. Ukraine has almost lost its main economic support due to the weakening of Western support, which will greatly limit the possibilities of its future military operations.
The Minister of Economy of Ukraine issued an urgent warning, stating that if it is not possible to continue to receive adequate financial support from the West, ** will be forced to stop paying salaries to civil servants and teachers, and may even postpone the payment of pensions.
This suggests that Ukraine is facing serious financial difficulties, and its ** operation is almost entirely dependent on foreign funding. Once external support is interrupted, not only will it be difficult for Ukraine to sustain the war, but even the continuity of its operations will become uncertain.
However, it is worrying that the Ukrainian finance minister has given vague clues when talking about the issue of funds, and it seems that there is a large amount of money flowing that cannot be traced.
Sergei Marchenko, Ukraine, was recently asked in an interview why the Ukrainian army relies on millions of hryvnias raised by civilian volunteers, and sometimes pays for military supplies on its own. According to Russia's RT, Marchenko said that he himself was puzzled by why the army was short of funds, and even had to rely on volunteers and non-** organizations to raise funds.
Marchenko noted that ** 5 billion hryvnia (about 1.) is allocated from the state budget every day$3.2 billion) to support the Ukrainian army, an amount unmatched among civilian organizations. However, he admits that he does not understand why the army still has financial problems.
* said that in addition to ** appropriations, local authorities will provide funds that will be sufficient to meet the needs of the Ukrainian army, and that there should be enough ** and ammunition in Ukrainian military warehouses. In the face of this situation, Marchenko's rhetoric hinted at uncertainty about the flow of money to the army.
According to Marchenko, the financial situation of the Ukrainian army does not look so poor that it will be difficult to fire even artillery shells, and there is no need to seek support from volunteers and non-** organizations.
However, in the face of this situation, one cannot help but wonder why this situation is happening
"It's hard for me to comment on things that I don't fully understand myself, and these questions need to be asked of those who are responsible for delivering equipment to soldiers," Marchenko said. ”
Although the wording is euphemistic, as the highest level of money management in Ukraine**, it is impossible for him to be ignorant of this. This remark is obviously accusing Zelensky of having a problem, which means that someone may have a problem with it.
In Ukraine, this phenomenon is not uncommon, almost no one is immune to the hands of **, the only difference is the degree of **.
The problem of corruption in Ukraine is well known, and while during the war efforts should have been focused on the rational use of limited resources to make the most of them, the reality is quite the opposite. Many saw war as an opportunity to gain wealth.
Over the past three decades, Ukraine has faced many difficulties, experienced many color revolutions, and plunged the country into constant ups and downs. Inaction in political circles is gradually becoming the norm, while the West has repeatedly blocked Ukraine's accession to NATO and the European Union, citing corruption. Although Ukraine** has been trying to prove its commitment to fighting corruption, many problems have not been resolved so far.
At present, in the period of war, it is difficult for the Kiev authorities to carry out a thorough rectification of the political circles. Previously, Zelensky fired all conscripts in a momentary rage, but now the conscription work has become more and more difficult.
In such a country, victory has become almost impossible. Most people are more interested in personal interests, and these positions cannot be easily replaced, otherwise there may be no one available.
If internal corruption is not addressed, and if this culture is allowed to spread, Ukraine will inevitably face a crushing defeat. These problems must be addressed at their roots, otherwise the situation will be difficult to reverse.
