Our 10 years dive into lessons learned & success stories from Ukraine on how to select leadership of law enforcement & judiciary bodies. For EU access we need to reboot PGO & SBI. Below is the recipe how to do it right antac.org.ua/en/news/loyalty…

Future historians will be shocked by how persistent & suicidal the West's refusal was to support Ukraine's victory w frozen russian assets, even as russia openly robbed, undermined, & attacked the West itself. A white coat really comes in handy in a war zone. Keep yours clean.

Мабуть, роки на війні сильно загострили відчуття справедливості, бо вже просто фізично боляче дивитися на всю цю дичину, що відбувається в більшості владних структур. Команда Зеленського прогнила настільки, що інакше як ОЗГ імені Вови її вже не назвати. Люди без будь-яких моральних орієнтирів, безпринципні мразоти, що під час екзистенційної війни включили турборежим пиздингу користуючись відсутністю електорального циклу. Це виглядає особливо цинічно, якщо пригадати, з якими гаслами вся ця шайка опортуністів та мародерів прийшла до влади у 19 році. Щиро сподіваюся, що до наступних виборів суспільство прийде вже з щепленням від популізму, адже ще однієї такої чуми країна може не витримати. Водночас я вірю, що нам вдасться розбудувати сильні інституції, що не допустять подібного пиздеця в майбутньому – НАБУ та САП вже демонструють, що це можливо. Вірю, що колись керівництво держави буде формуватися за принципом компетентності, а не лояльності. Вірю, що в політикум прийдуть ідейні люди, для яких служіння народові буде не просто красивою фразою. Роботи ще дуже багато, але ми обов'язково впораємося. Тож не варто лізти в помиральну яму – нам ще своє робить. На цьому потік фрустрації закінчую, дякую за увагу 🫡

So the situation is roughly this: Zelensky listened to his buddies, and with a snap of his fingers sent an entire government tumbling down the drain, just to get rid of one single defense minister whose anti-corruption policies had started to greatly upset some very respected people who were used to earning handsomely off military procurement. And also because, you see, torn between a deeply unpopular and repeatedly scandal-ridden commander-in-chief of the armed forces and an effective, innovative minister of defense, Zelensky had no time to sort it out and decide -- so he did the simplest thing and, without the slightest public explanation, fired the defense minister. Whose firing, conveniently, the respected people had also been asking for. And also because the young minister was rapidly gaining popularity! So Zelensky decides to appoint as defense minister someone who has never distinguished himself in any way and is deeply unpopular, but obedient, lacking any initiative, and convenient -- a former cop from yesterday's Ministry of Internal Affairs. But the Verkhovna Rada, exhausted from its grueling labors, fails to give a vote amid public outrage and heads off for a month-long recess in the middle of wartime, leaving the country without a full-fledged defense minister or foreign minister in the new government. As a result, Zelensky triggered one of the largest wartime political crises: street protests, paralysis, confusion. And on top of that, Zelensky decided to move Ukraine's ambassador to the US and suddenly appoint the just-departed prime minister in her place -- except, well, tough luck, because he'd already had a massive falling-out with her over that scandalous and insulting dismissal, and she quite fairly gave him the middle finger. Plunging into total chaos, Zelensky urgently arranges heart-to-heart meetings with practically every respected and prominent combat commander of Ukraine's defense forces, takes dozens of photo-ops with them, and suddenly has an epiphany -- removing his favorite general from the post of commander-in-chief, the very general he'd been backing and deferring to just yesterday in his standoff with the defense minister. "The people have been heard," but the return of the defense minister, Zelensky is somehow in no hurry (the respected people are asking, after all, and why grow yourself a political rival!). Instead, in direct violation of the law, he hides behind the name of a deeply respected combat general, yanks him out of the SBU, names him acting defense minister until the Rada convenes again, and installs a decorated soldier and intelligence officer as a civilian manager of resources, budgets, and process optimization. And by the way -- our former Minister of Internal Affairs, the cop, is left without the defense minister post he was promised! What to do? Gotta find him a job, fast. Oh! Let him go head the National Security and Defense Council -- symbolic, meaningless, but nice for a friend. And what about Zelensky's buddy who's already sitting in that chair, who's already proven himself a thoroughly useless defense minister and a rather mediocre negotiator, which is exactly why he's parked in that ceremonial, symbolic security council post? Well, let him go head the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine -- never mind that he hasn't served a single day in any intelligence service, never had any connection to one whatsoever -- can't leave a buddy without a post now, can we? You have just read a short sketch on the theme of "Volodymyr Zelensky's personnel policy, or God alone knows how Ukraine is still not dead in this war with such a mess."

Well, I can understand President Zelenskyy: when you yourself promised to serve only one term and all you can think about is a second, Fedorov can repeat a hundred times that the presidency doesn’t interest him - Zelenskyy still won’t believe him.

Sorry, but when Zelensky says he had "no time to figure out who's right and who's wrong" in the conflict between the defense minister and the commander-in-chief, and that it's easier for him to take the path of least resistance and fire whoever is simpler to fire -- this says absolutely nothing good about him as a leader. You're leading a fighting nation during Europe's largest war since World War II, and your nation is fighting to the death against an enemy that vastly overwhelms you in every parameter. Yeah, I'd say you should have taken the time to sort out the situation. This isn't a comedy show studio where two actors had some dispute and are throwing tantrums at each other and stressing out their boss. When a leader surrounds himself with a comfortable warm bath of yes-men who don't contradict, don't argue, don't give him headaches with their initiatives, and quietly float along with everyone else, not interfering while the boss's friends run shady dealings behind everyone's back -- this is the first sign that the president is forgetting why the people put him in power.

🇺🇦 "We still can't understand why President Zelenskiy dismissed reform-orientated defense minister Mikhaelo Federov." Amid calls for Friday rally, @ANTAC_ua's @dkaleniuk only "half-satisfied" by removal of army chief Oleksandr Syrskyi. Full interview ➡️ f24.my/C4Ol

Thank God common sense prevailed, and President Zelenskyi listened to the calls of the army and society, appointing Mykhailo Drapatyi as the new AFU Commander-in-Chief. Drapatyi is a man of honor and grace, a battle-grown and hardened major general, who cares about human lives.

Геніальний стратег, найкращий генерал, який вміє грати в стратегії .

Foreign journalists are giving opinions today. Listen to Ukrainians. It is their country and future. They’re angry because this is a battle between Ukraine’s future and its Soviet past. “We will never defeat Russia by treating our army like Russia treats theirs.” @dkaleniuk

Look at this picture. This is how modern Europe’s human air defense shield look,

None of ballistic missiles launched this night was intercepted. Partners are still keeping reserves for Patriot missiles for themselves. Ukrainians again and again are treated as human shield for Europe.

Terrorussia has attacked tonight at least 3 residential buildings in Kyiv. Sleepless night. Probably one of the scariest. Super loud explosions by explosions.

Как упоительньі в россии вечера 🤭

And for those suffering from very selective amnesia, let me remind you once again that Russia has been carrying out regular and systematic mass missile and drone strikes against Ukraine — including power plants and heating infrastructure, hospitals, schools, apartment buildings, supermarkets, as well as historical landmarks and national heritage sites — since 4 a.m. on February 24, the very first day of its full-scale invasion. At that point Ukraine could not even dream of striking any targets inside Russia, let alone Moscow, and remained practically powerless to do so for many months, if not years, of the war. So you can go to hell with your “now Russia will strike back.”

2 years ago this would have been “escalatory”. Today this is the reality.

Well done, mr president @ZelenskyyUa

Don't mix that up. Mendel bashing Ukraine with Carlson has only one goal: weaponizing corruption to give the Trump administration and russians more leverage to pressure Ukraine to capitulate. Ukraine's anti-corruption bodies charging Yermak is a clear example of institutions functioning independently and professionally, exercising their powers in defense of democracy, building internal resilience of the state to prevail in the war of attrition. As simple as that — for everyone who genuinely cares about Ukraine.

There may never be a more elegant piece of wartime trolling than this
