"Guys, sooner or later it will catch up with you," said Yabchanka, who was back home in western Ukraine waiting for his wounded leg to heal before returning to his unit. Ukrainians still often dismiss Russian troops as incompetent after battlefield failures in 2022 and the recruitment of thousands of convicts to fill their ranks. No change to overall mobilisation plans has been announced and analysts say the government has to consider the broader economy and social stability. Yabchanka, who sports a Cossack-style moustache and hairstyle, said those who are close to someone fighting tend to be more realistic. "This is someone's husband, someone's son, someone's father," he said.

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.

According to Transparency International's 2022 Corruption Perceptions Index, Ukraine ranked slightly better than Russia but still well below the global average. Their focus also shows civil society is embracing its role as a government watchdog even as the war grinds on. Many journalists are also turning their attention to uncovering Russian war crimes and assets in Ukraine. PUBLIC PARTNERSHIPSuch reports play a key role in Ukraine's fledgling anti-corruption system, created after the 2014 Maidan revolution toppled pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych. Romaniuk, director of the Institute of Mass Information, an NGO in Kyiv, said Ukrainian journalists' role as anti-corruption activists will become increasingly important as Kyiv maps out a more transparent future.
Ukraine's long-running struggle with graft has taken on added significance as Kyiv battles for survival while also pursuing a bid to join the European Union. But tackling graft has become more urgent since the European Union offered Kyiv candidate member status last June, months after Russia's invasion. The Ukrainian public, exhausted by 11 months of war, was also clearly a key intended audience for the sackings and resignations. But the same poll, which included nearly a thousand respondents across government-controlled Ukraine, found that 84% trusted Zelenskiy - up from 27% a year earlier.

Ţara a fost criticată în repetate rânduri de Comisia Europeană pentru că nu a reuşit să elimine corupţia şi că nu a trimis niciun funcţionar guvernamental de rang înalt după gratii pentru corupţie. Departamentul Trezoreriei din SUA a informat, miercuri, într-un comunicat că aceasta este cea mai importantă acţiune a Washingtonului împotriva corupţiei din Bulgaria de până acum. Premierul bulgar interimar Stefan Ianev a declarat că a fost informat telefonic despre decizie de subsecretarul de stat american pentru afaceri politice, Victoria Nuland. În 2013, Delian Peevski fusese propus la șefia serviciilor secrete, dar în cele din urmă numirea sa a fost anulată în parlament.

Bojkov, Peevski și Zhelyazkov sunt acuzați de scheme de corupție, abuz asupra profitului instituțiilor publice și evaziune fiscală. Omul de afaceri și oligarhul bulgar Vassil Kroumov Bojkov a mituit în repetate rânduri diverși oficiali guvernamentali, printre care un actual lider politic bulgar și ex-președintele fostei Comisii de Stat pentru Jocuri de Noroc din Bulgaria (SCG). Acesta mai este acuzat de deturnarea bunurilor statului bulgar, exproprierea activelor private pentru câștig personal și scheme de corupție înfăptuite prin intermediul unor contracte guvernamentale. În urma schemei de corupție pusă în aplicare de oligarhul bulgar, președintele SCG a demisionat, a fost arestat, iar SCG a fost lichidată. În cadrul unei anchete din 2019, Ziarul de Gardă a scris despre oamenii din spatele afacerii bulgare cu ramificații și dosare la Chișinău – Loteria Națională, la care oligarhul Bojkov a fost beneficiar.
