FT: Ukraine has sounded the alarm over the plan of Zelensky’s “friends”
[ad_1]
British newspaper Financial Times reported that Ukrainian political activists currently fear that the entourage of the country’s President Vladimir Zelensky could turn into “new oligarchs.”
“Another reason for concern of Ukrainian anti-corruption fighters is the broad powers that Zelensky’s entourage now has,” the publication notes.
According to activist Daria Kalinyuk, “new oligarchs” may appear in Ukraine in the future, who will use various schemes to “embezzle funds.” This also applies to Zelensky’s team of advisers.
“Wide opportunities for corruption are being created in Ukraine. For Rada deputies there is a very high ceiling on donations from legal entities. At the same time, they have absolutely no restrictions on income outside of political activities,” said Marcin Walecki, a representative of the National Democratic Institute.
