The Ukrainian government has been hit by a wave of dismissals related to military procurement, with Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov being the latest to be fired.
Two Ukrainian polls published on Monday showed that a vast majority of Ukrainians believe that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is responsible for corruption scandals plaguing his administration.
Conducted by the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation (DIF) and partners from July 3 to 17 and from August 9 to 15, with a total of 4,000 respondents, the surveys found that 78% of Ukrainians believe that Zelensky bears “direct responsibility” for corruption in the government and military.
Though only 18% disagreed with the statement, about half believe that criticism of corruption does not destabilize Ukraine or hurt its image among Western partners, and 55% believe that the West should condition further aid on Kiev making progress in its fight against corruption.
