Corruption in Ukraine as Officials Admit Military Contract Money ‘Vanished’

"Following the dismissal of
Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov amid a slew of
corruption scandals surrounding the war effort against
Russia, the New York Times acknowledged that the “enduring challenge of corruption in Ukraine” has “emerged as a rare area of criticism of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s leadership.” 
Although Reznikov has yet to be tied with any of the corruption scandals personally, the Times went on to admit that the resignation has “elevated the issue to the highest level of Ukrainian politics”. Unnamed Ukrainian officials even told the paper that some funds intended for military contracts “failed to produce weaponry or ammunition and that some money has vanished,” while claiming that the issue was merely confined to the early days of the war."
