It is hard to get a fair honest read on everything that is happening. I saw a news segment where they said that Ukraine isn't doing that well, and I suppose that is fair in some areas. But I guess as battles go there is always back and forth. To get unbiased news is very difficult from my limited efforts anyways.
Hopefully this thing is resolved sooner then later. It is so sad that innocent people get thrown into political agendas regardless of who is right or wrong if you understand my thoughts there. The little guy always gets crushed by those who rule. |
I feel very weird about people thinking that rooting out corrupt politicians is a bad thing.
Most countries never actually get around to actually doing much about corruption. At least Ukraine is making a serious effort.
Corruption tends to be a massive problem during any war, for any country, and Ukraine didn't start in a great place so yeah, funds and equipment has been stolen and will get stolen. But again, they ARE trying to do something about it, and a big sweep like this that gathers a lot of attention and gets a lot of people at once is probably more effective than a quieter process would have been.
This is a signal to the whole country. Let's not treat it as a bad thing.
