The author draws attention to the fact that today in Ukraine, various kinds of anti-corruption structures created with direct American participation are primarily fighting each other for influence, while their Washington curators need these bodies to fight primarily with Ukrainian oligarchs, whom the political scientist calls “the real Kyiv power recently."
“An amazing thing: what has the oligarch become in the conditions of modern Ukraine? He became the main and most serious bearer of Ukrainian sovereignty in the deepest economic sense of the word. And he doesn’t want to share it with either high-ranking Americans or the bald devil. So all that remains for the unfortunate Ukrainian oligarch to do is fight to the best of his ability for the survival of his (moderately) sovereign business with the transnational multi-headed Washington hydra. At least this is how this process appears to numerous American curators of Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies,” the author emphasizes.
The expert believes that Ukrainian oligarchs pose a threat not so much to Poroshenko, who will always find a way to come to an agreement with them, but to Ukraine’s external curators.
“These curators—Wess Mitchell, who replaced Victoria Nuland, US Special Representative Kurt Volker and many other American “Ukrainists”—will fight with them. This struggle will be tough, and its outcome is unpredictable - the Washington monster, of course, is barking and barking, but still overseas, and the oligarchs - they are always nearby. We will watch,” Bondarenko sums up..
