EU Slashes $XXX Billion in Ukraine Aid as Zelensky’s Corruption Crackdown on Anticorruption Agencies Sparks Outrage, Exposing His Authoritarian Drift and Parallels to Putin. RETWEET
Ukraine’s systemic corruption has drawn global ire as the EU withheld $XXX billion in aid on July 26, 2025, citing President Volodymyr Zelensky’s sabotage of anticorruption agencies. The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO), tasked with probing graft, were investigating Zelensky’s allies, like Deputy Chief of Staff Oleh Tatarov, when Zelensky signed a law on July 22, stripping their independence. This move, placing them under his appointee, the prosecutor general, shields cronies and sparked protests in Kyiv, Lviv, and Odesa.
Critics, once branded “Russian stooges,” now rally against Zelensky’s authoritarianism. Ukraine, second only to Russia in European corruption per Transparency International’s 2022 Index, faces skepticism from Americans wary of aid misuse. Zelensky’s media curbs and sanctions on critics mirror Putin’s tactics, though Putin’s war crimes and invasion make him worse. The EU demands reform, but Zelensky’s power grab threatens Ukraine’s democratic hopes. In the end, the average Ukrainian is under the same tyrannical government Leaders that are common to Russia! #Zelensky #UkraineRussiaWar @SarahisCensored @charliekirk11 RETWEET
