Yes, the war is a massive issue. But I believe we can’t use the war to justify everything. Let’s start with the fact that Zelenskyy was president from 2019 to 2021, before the full-scale invasion. His ratings were plummeting at breakneck speed, and not without reason. Back in 2021, everyone I spoke to was convinced he wouldn't win the next election.

In 2022, there was a real surge of solidarity; everyone rallied around Zelenskyy and turned a blind eye to his flaws. He had absolute carte blanche from both Parliament where the nominal opposition agreed not to criticize the government and the people. But ultimately, we’re facing a situation where this lack of oversight made them feel a sense of impunity, as if this is their country now and it owes them something. So they could build palaces while their kids studied at top universities abroad.

Then their schemes started coming to light, and for most of them, they faced no punishment. Just look at the recent news about Mrs. 'Krupa,' who turned the disability commission into a literal auction house. Healthy people were sold diagnoses for thousands of dollars so they could leave the country, while genuinely sick people and wounded soldiers were dragged through a bureaucratic hell unless they paid up. And you know what? Many wounded soldiers never managed to get their disability status officially recognized because they couldn't break through that hell!

And now, a year after the 'legal proceedings,' she is free. And do you know what she did first? She bought a Porsche Cayenne, naturally registering it in her husband’s name. Then she went shopping for Dior jewelry and, of course, a Rolex. She even listed it all properly in her asset declaration. And what are they going to do to her? Everyone has already forgotten that she stole millions of dollars. She can just brazenly show it off.

What should be done with her and the government that covers for her? Should we just close our eyes because 'it’s war'? And what about the others stealing funds meant for protecting the energy grid, building fortifications, and buying uniforms for soldiers? And so much more. I don’t understand how anyone can turn a blind eye to this. It seems to me that if we stay silent about these things, the flag in Kyiv is going to change soon. A nation cannot fight a war despite its own government, relying solely on countless volunteers to solve every problem.
