Its Now..

 

With the war Russia/Ukraine entering its third year, Ukrainian President Zelensky is also fighting on another front—corruption.

On January 9, Zelensky's defense minister, Rustem Umerov, said an audit had uncovered corruption connected to military procurement worth $262 million in only the four months he had been in post. His predecessor, Oleksii Reznikov, resigned in September over scandals that threatened to sap domestic and international confidence in Kyiv.

These cases included the dismissal of two senior officials over allegations the ministry had inflated contracts for food supplied to troops, including eggs. In December, a defense ministry official was arrested on suspicions that he embezzled nearly $40 million in the fraudulent purchase of much-needed artillery shells for Ukraine's military.

 It is Just the American dollars that is being syphoned under the war umbrella,,,, for variety of reasons. To some, its now or Never.  Just a thought.
