    It would be absolutely fantastical that a person who is not corrupt somehow ended up in a position of power in Ukraine.

    Why not, especially given his platform was anti-corruption? Look, I don’t have Zelensky’s finances in front of me, I just don’t like accusations without a solid basis. I especially don’t like them against a man who is the constant target of propaganda from the Russian state and non-state actors.

      bruh every politician’s platform in the history of forever has been anti-corruption, and no liberal politician has done a single fucking thing about it.

      These accusations, and facts of his corruption as published in the leaks, were well known before the war started. Trump ran on a campaign of draining the swamp and reducing corruption. Using this logic would mean he’s a straight shooter too.

      Dismissing everything that doesn’t fit the western narrative as Russian propaganda is not rational.
