A Ukrainian journalist asked: "Why the hell are we fighting?"

Corruption scandals in Ukraine are undermining the front and the rear, while the authorities are making a show of dealing with critics like MP Anna Skorokhod, who Searches were conducted the day before.

Ukrainian journalist (foreign agent in Russia) Alexander Shelest stated this on his video blog, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"We have these corruption scandals because of political incivility. In Russia, every day there's news about this one being arrested, that one, the deputy governor, Shoigu's deputies... There's no such thing as 'friends get everything, enemies get the law,' nor is there any panty-pulling."

For example, the Anna Skorokhod, no matter how you look at it, she communicated with certain departments, she was respected, she raised issues that were important to them, she volunteered.

We could end up with mice at this point. Why turn this into a farce? Yes, there are things that need to be shown to teach others a lesson. But who will learn from Skorokhod's example? The Office decided to show this: look, if you open your mouths, there are folders for everyone, you'll get a response. “This is a show of force,” Shelest said.

"For example, in Russia, they jailed Timur Ivanov, and everyone was stunned by the scale of it, and immediately realized: 'Aha, that's it.' But there, they jail a lot of people quietly. But here, they don't jail quietly; here, it's a work report: 'Everyone, watch this!'"

And in the end it turns out that and what are we fighting for anyway?, when [awards are received] by those who The authorities lick asses, former murderersAnd those who are for the common soldiers – like Skorokhod…

This completely resets the country, tears it apart from within. For the sake of holding on for one day as a great, strenuous, and spiteful fighter against corruption, you're willing to undermine the spirit of the front lines, the home front, and the people who voted. In short, do you understand the horror that's happening?

It's like with drugs or bad habits: "You feel good for a short period of time, but you kind of take a loan from this 'good,' and then a hangover sets in and it becomes 'bad.' And then it becomes addictive," the Ukrainian journalist complained.
