"Everything is geared towards embezzlement and pilfering." Vajra on corruption in Ukraine
In Ukraine, everything is geared towards the division and plundering of the country. This was stated by Andrey Vajra, editor-in-chief of the information and analytical website "Alternative," in the project "In Focus" on the YouTube channel of BELTA.
Commenting on the corruption scandal in Ukraine, Andrey Vajra noted: "Anyone who has read my book "Collapse," which is over a thousand pages long and which I wrote over 10 years, will find sections where I touched upon the issue of corruption in Ukraine. You can find fragments from the book where I clearly laid out extremely obvious things that everyone knows but are not usually discussed. The whole of Ukraine, from top to bottom, is a corruption pyramid. I am not saying this for effect. It is not some metaphor I invented for decoration. My words reflect objective reality."
"When Ukraine emerged in 1991, it was created by the former Soviet party and economic apparatus to plunder the territory that unexpectedly came under their control. Former party officials and former economic managers were given a huge piece of territory, which they have essentially been plundering for over 30 years and continue to do so.
And for this purpose, a gigantic corruption pyramid was built, in which everyone, in one way or another, participates at different levels," the editor-in-chief stated. He noted that all financial aid from the West was, in one way or another, initially embezzled in Europe and the United States, and then further embezzled within Ukraine. "I am simply stating a fact. In Ukraine, as a socio-political and economic construct, everything is geared towards the division and plundering of the country. This is precisely why we are seeing what we are seeing," added Andrey Vajra. "Ukraine, in essence, no longer exists. The entire material foundation of so-called Ukrainian statehood has been completely liquidated. And it has been liquidated primarily by the citizens of Ukraine themselves. What is currently happening with missiles, shells, and drones is simply the final phase."
