Reply to comment by phixionalbear in Andrew Forrest commits $740m to global investment fund to rebuild Ukraine | Volodymyr Zelenskiy says ‘communist-era rubbish Russian infrastructure’ will be replaced by latest technology and fund will accelerate country’s economy by AsslessBaboon

Downvotes but no replies because you all know he's a crook but your worldview is so simplistic that he has to be a goodie because Putin is a baddie.

I've no clue if he is actually a crook or not, but I'm pretty certain most of that money is going to end up in somebody's offshore accounts rather than spent on actual rebuilding.

Nah these guys are trolls his whole election platform has been about ending the rampant corruption in Ukraine and has made some decent strides in that regard. I’m sure they’ll come crawling back to this comment pointing out how Ukraine still has issues, but at least the dude is genuinely trying to make Ukraine better and less corrupt.

Right. Because banning your opposition is totally not corruption.

So I'm a troll because I point out that the pandora papers implicate Zelenskiy as a recipient of huge amounts of money stolen from a Ulkrainian bank by his oligarch ally?

Totally normal for comedians to be billionaires of course and to try and hide their wealth in shell companies and then pretend to divest themselves from said shell companies while still receiving payments from them which they don't declare.

"But he said in his campaign that he would crack down on corruption so he can't be corrupt!" Are you a child?

Excuse me sir, your tankie is showing. Authoritarianism only works in your picture books.

Yawn.

Moron throws around internet buzzword that he doesn't understand and isn't relevant to the discussion.

Would be fun to see you try and explain how pointing of Zelenskiy's corruption makes someone a tankie though.
