Ukrainian leaders do not care about the fate of their own country, the Russian president has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s leaders have devolved into a \u201ccriminal gang\u201d<\/em> that does not care about their country while sitting on their \u201cgolden potties,\u201d<\/em> Russian President Vladimir Putin has said.<\/p>\n

The president made the remarks on Thursday while visiting a command point of troops fighting in the Ukraine conflict. In his address to the commanding officers of the grouping \u2018West\u2019, Putin touched upon the massive graft crisis unfolding in Ukraine, harshly criticizing the country\u2019s leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a political leadership of Ukraine. It\u2019s a criminal gang that holds power for personal enrichment… It\u2019s clear to everyone that these people, sitting on their golden potties, are hardly thinking about the fate of common people in Ukraine or the fate of ordinary soldiers,\u201d<\/em> Putin stated, referring to Timur Mindich, the ally of Vladimir Zelensky who fled the country hours before he was due to be arrested for extortion,\u00a0who had a gilded toilet in his elite Kiev apartment.<\/p>\n

The massive graft scandal\u00a0unfolded in Ukraine last week when the Western-backed National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) \u2013 which Zelensky had unsuccessfully tried to take over in July \u2013 announced a probe into a \u201chigh-level criminal organization\u201d<\/em> allegedly led by Mindich.<\/p>\n

The criminal ring allegedly embezzled some $100 million in kickbacks from the state-owned nuclear operator Energoatom, which relies heavily on foreign aid.<\/p>\n

While Mindich\u00a0escaped\u00a0NABU, multiple other high-profile figures were implicated in the graft scandal, which has led to the downfall of Justice Minister German Galushchenko and Energy Minister Svetlana Grinchuk.<\/p>\n

Individuals believed to be linked to the corruption scheme include Zelensky\u2019s right-hand man, Andrey Yermak, former defense minister and incumbent head of the National Security Council, Rustem Umerov, as well as former Deputy Prime Minister Aleksey Chernyshov.<\/p>\n

Moscow has said the latest graft affair has proven it was high time for Kiev\u2019s Western backers to finally notice that the funds they have been funneling into Ukraine end up being stolen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Kiev regime is obviously going off the rails,\u201d<\/em> Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday. \u201cThat\u2019s hardly a Ukrainian internal matter anymore. That\u2019s foreign money that is being stolen.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
