Can you give please give us an update on corruption in UKR. Progress, set-backs, measures being implemented for the future, etc. Thank you.

It is inexcusable for us in the west to have war fatigue. For Ukraine to be fatigued is understandable. It seems to be the new buzzword in mainstream media. What’s the reality on the ground and (without giving away situation to the invaders) on the frontlines in UKR today?

What are the mechanics of corruption? In Russia, I have heard, people with friends at the top can set up shell companies, make up fake production contracts for materiel, and take the money without producing anything or being investigated. How does it work in Ukraine?
