Contempt from Bankova: is it worth talking about problems during the war?

Source: Author’s Facebook page

Regarding whether to talk about problems during the war or not.

Before the full-scale invasion, we spent months screaming into the void, trying to reach the authorities and warn society about the danger.

…We were accused of sowing panic and playing into the hands of the enemy.

When the invasion happened, we didn’t say a word, like “we told you so.” We immediately stopped any public criticism of the government and became one front with it against the external enemy.

…Instead of uniting, from the very first days it set about eliminating former opponents from the media field.

Opposition channels were not allowed into the marathon, but they still did not criticize the authorities. Then they were excluded from digital broadcasting…

But despite everything, in 2022 and 2023, we still tried to interact with fellow parliamentarians and government officials privately, hoping that they would listen and come to their senses.

Today, our Western partners continue to adhere to the unspoken internal taboo on criticizing Kyiv.

But Zelensky and his managers, raised on the streets of the 90s, perceive such behavior as weakness.

So in 2025, we found ourselves at a point where the top management had become so carried away that they spat in the partners’ faces just before the reconstruction conference, failing to appoint a head of BEB, in direct violation of the law…

And as if that weren’t enough, Chernyshov, accused of top-level corruption, took part in this conference.

This is disrespect not only for partners. It is, first of all, disrespect for our defenders, because the scoundrels from Bankova are covering themselves with someone else’s blood. They understand perfectly well that when Ukrainians die at the front, defending a state that wants to be free and become a member of the European community, they have nothing to fear… No one will move them.

And they are blatantly using it. That’s the problem. And as long as everyone continues not to call things by their proper names, their appetite will only grow.

This, not criticism or any other opinion, threatens the state from within. We want to survive as a free country and we can only survive as a free country.

Is this some kind of higher mathematics???

As a reminder, the 4th Conference on the Recovery of Ukraine began in the Italian capital of Rome on July 10. During her speech, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced the launch of the European Recovery Fund for Ukraine . In addition, Ukraine received 1 billion euros from the European Union from the proceeds of frozen Russian assets. The EU also announced the signing of agreements for Ukraine for 2.3 billion euros in the form of loan guarantees and grants.

At the same time, the previous day, the British edition of The Economist published an article stating that the head of the President’s Office, Andriy Yermak, is behind potential personnel changes in the government , which may occur in the near future. It is noted that Yermak is making attempts to remove certain officials, instead promoting the “necessary” people for himself. Thus, according to three interlocutors who spoke on condition of anonymity, the head of the OP influenced the course of the Chernyshov case. In particular, it was he who allowed it to advance, while others were frozen.

At the same time, the publication in the media of materials regarding the role of the head of the President’s Office, Andriy Yermak, in the processes of curtailing democracy indicates that the patience of the Western allies has already run out , so Bankova should draw her own conclusions so that our country does not lose military assistance, – believes public figure Karl Volokh.
