Temnychok Has Arrived: The Fight Against Corruption Is Actually Blackmail by Zelenskyy

Did it ever occur to you to ask your favourite hero how it happened that the entire quartermaster corps, along with the majority of “servants” and appointees, were blatant embezzlers, swindlers, and traitors?

From the perspective of public administration, cleansing this group is necessary for the country’s survival and for making sound decisions—strengthening defence, protecting communities, and conducting negotiations without capitulation.

Yet they cling to power with teeth and claws. They refuse to let go until the last one is gone. They play on emotions, hoping to exploit them to maintain whatever support remains.

To do this, they hire unscrupulous, Russian-speaking operatives who, in the Kremlin-style of Portnov, continue to sow hatred between Ukrainians, between Ukraine and its partners, and between the front lines and the home front.

Everything to Protect the Owners and Their Handouts

Exposing corruption strengthens Ukraine, rather than weakening it, because it creates an opportunity to improve governance and demonstrate a healthy response to challenges. It also serves as a vaccine against capitulation—after all, it would be terrifying to return home if you “slipped in and surrendered.”

So stop resisting the inevitable. Remove the corrupt. Purge the scoundrels exposed in Telegram leaks. Dismiss the advisors who whisper, “Never mind, we’re just joking around.”

You won’t have to wander in circles for long.

The trap can be avoided—but only if you heed the voice of reason instead of hiding from it.

According to a Socis survey, only 19% of Ukrainians believe that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was unaware of corruption in his circle and had no involvement in the “Mindich scheme.” 39% think the president is part of the corruption scheme exposed by NABU, while 29% believe he was aware of the corruption but did not participate directly. Another 19% believe the president had nothing to do with the deals and had no knowledge of them.

Meanwhile, Petro Poroshenko, in a final interview on the Pryamyi TV channel, said that the key factor for Ukraine’s stability is restoring the trust of citizens and Western partners in the government. He stated that the corruption scandal involving government officials and people close to Bankova has caused enormous damage to Ukraine.
