Yevhenii Zavhorodnii/Global Images Ukraine/Getty ImagesIn Ukraine the air raid alerts are incessant. Kyiv has the best air defense in Ukraine; the country lacks the resources to defend other cities this way. He noted that Ukrainian air defense had done a spectacular job that morning intercepting every single missile launched at Kyiv. The United States has essentially cut off Ukraine, and Ukrainian air defense is quickly running out of ammunition. After we landed back in JFK, we turned off the air raid sound on our phones.

(Reuters) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy made public his income over a two-year period on Sunday as part of a drive to promote transparency and root out endemic corruption. In a post on the presidential website, Zelenskiy noted that his income had declined in 2021 and further in 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine at the end of February. In 2021, the year before the invasion, Zelenskiy and his family reported income of 10.8 million hryvnias ($286,168), down 12 million hryvnias from the previous year. In 2022, the Zelenskiy family’s income fell further to 3.7 million hryvnias as he earned less rental income from real estate he owned because of the outbreak of the war. Ukraine's National Agency on Corruption Prevention, one of several bodies devoted to exposing and eliminating graft, last month reopened to public scrutiny a register on declared income.

In a poll, 77.6% of Ukrainians said Zelenskyy was responsible for government corruption. It came out as Zelenskyy fired all the heads of Ukraine's regional military committees. The poll came out as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy launched an investigation into bribery related to military recruitment. Zelenskyy: Recruitment bribes at a time of war is 'high treason'On Friday, Zelenskyy said he dismissed the heads of Ukraine's regional military committees as investigations into corruption in Ukraine continued, particularly in its armed-forces recruitment. "We are dismissing all regional military commissars," a statement on Zelenskyy's official Telegram channel said.

Ukraine has launched a site to track $1.3 billion of art owned by sanctioned Russian oligarchs. The site lists artworks like Picassos and Warhols believed to be bought and sold by sanctioned figures. The nature of the art market offers many loopholes for the transfer of assets, the site says. The database, it says, will allow art market actors to check that they are not dealing in sanctioned goods. Art dealings can be a perfect vehicle for the quiet transfer of assets, largely taking place away from the public eye.

The president last month announced plans to audit military draft offices to try to eliminate corruption. "Let me warn all members of parliament, officials and everyone working as a civil servant," he said. "No one will forgive members of parliament, judges, military officials or any other officials for placing themselves in opposition to the state." CORRUPTION, TREASON CHARGESEarlier, legal authorities said the head of a military recruitment centre in southern Ukraine accused of corruption and embezzlement had been ordered held in pre-trial detention, with bail set at the equivalent of just over $4 million. And the prosecutor general's office said parliamentarian Oleksandr Ponomaryov, suspected of collaborating with Russia in the occupied southeast, had been arrested pending trial on treason charges.
