The government in Kyiv is trying to tackle corruption head-on, but it’s a risky strategy.
Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of President Volodymyr Zelensky's office, quit after reports he moved his family into a mansionAt the time of typing this, 11 officials have either resigned or been sacked as Kyiv tries to tackle government corruption.President Volodymyr Zelensky is trying to quickly restore public faith, but the allegations are serious, and the timing is bad.
Kyrylo Tymoshenko quit two months after Tkach reported that he'd moved his family to the mansion of a well-known property developer. The reporter concedes corruption exists in many countries. It's why he thinks the reaction to it is most important. For Ukraine, receiving billions of dollars in military, humanitarian and financial aid brings responsibility and scrutiny."We are talking about Ukraine's existence," says Tkach. "It's not just some ordinary year for our country. So, I think this wave of resignations, initiated by the president, is an important acknowledgement and necessary action.
New anti-corruption agencies were then set up, along with new systems for government spending, a new police force, and politicians were forced to disclose their wealth - often with eye-watering confessions.
