Stop stealing! Corruption in Ukraine – the drift towards Russia

Перестаньте воровать! Коррупция на Украине - дрейф в сторону России

What lies behind the loud accusations in the American media? One of the reasons the campaign – election campaign in the United States, but experts say that it is also a powerful signal as to the West in the course of the Ukrainian streams. The fight against corruption was the focus of the recent visit to Ukraine Secretary of state. The U.S. has stepped up anti-corruption theme. The state Department sends a clear message: the necessary result of the struggle with the “flow” at the highest level. Otherwise, Ukraine will finally become a “suitcase without a handle”!

Recently, the American newspaper the Washington Times published devastating reports on corruption in Ukraine. The reform is called “ghostly” and noted that the annual budget loses $12 billion. “Corruption in Ukraine has evolved so much that even a Nigerian Prince would be confused,” say observers. The conclusion can again begin to drift into the orbit of Russia. The topic has intensified in parallel with the NATO summit. One of the main “infosponsors” – the New York Times. There came several articles, one after retelling the history of relations between the ex-head of the economic development and trade Aivaras Abromavicius and the people’s Deputy Igor Kononenko (“military comrade President”, – said the author) reveals the meaning of the institution of “beholder”, and also concludes that not enough effort.

“In 2014 the state-owned company lost about $9.7 billion, mainly due to subsidies in the energy sector. This amount covered the IMF loans, US aid and the EU,” the authors summarize. “Another article about Pavlo Lazarenko (ex-Prime Minister called “the first pathological thief in the country”), but this material has a very complex structure to the average American, which is where this Ukraine is,” said the Secretary of the VR Committee on the fight against corruption Dmitry ancient Turkic.

Political observer Ruslan Bortnik convinced that the speech about a new wave of pressure on Kiev. “In the spring, the wave of PanAmSat and before the visit of President of the United States, the Newspapers came out with absolutely devastating materials about the sale of seats in the lists, Arseny Yatsenyuk, the oligarchs. The current wave with previous not to compare, he said. – Now, first, the signal to Kiev: confidence has fallen, and there is a dismissive attitude of our elites. Secondly, the element of the election campaign in the United States: the Republicans show that the policy of Democrats in Ukraine is ineffective.”

Political analyst on international Affairs Andrew Buzarov considers publishing a powerful message by a combination of factors. “The West is aware of what is happening in Ukraine. Their functionaries are able to track every movement of the dollar, but our top officials still are trying to cheat them”, he said. The conclusion confirms the ancient Turkic. According to him, in conversations behind closed doors, officials from the US and EU, openly criticized Kiev. “They really are all very carefully monitored. Knows everything about everyone, more than we imagine. And yet called the names of the main corrupt officials in the government and in Parliament not on the camera, – the Deputy told. – I was recently at the parliamentary Assembly of the EU, and senior representatives of the Polish Sejm directly said: “Friends, we’re lobbying your interests extend sanctions. Stop stealing – it’s terrible!”

According to estimates Dobrolubova, patience will come to an end only after the presidential elections in the United States – when Washington finally realizes that to help Kyiv useless, and decide to throw a “suitcase without a handle”. However, anything can happen much earlier.

Co-founder of the Centre for the investigation of corruption and organized crime, one of the authors of a controversial investigation on the “Bananagate” Sullivan told the Ukrainian media, that his Centre is preparing a new “drain” Panamanian documents on Aug. “We have a new story, now finish them off reporters. Need more time for promotion: the first portion will be in the next month, then in early fall, ” he said. – Ukraine is without very loud names. But the list of a lot of businessmen, which, in turn, are associated with politicians of low and medium level”.
