I think that the fact we're hearing about this is proof that Ukraine is fighting corruption in a meaningful way.

I'd argue that actual systemic changes are required to not only punish, but also prevent these things from being allowed to happen.

I admit having free press that can report it is definitely a good step forward though... although now that I wanted to double check some facts on the article I see that it was just removed?

🤔 Can you check if it's still available to you?

Much of this is also likely to be disappearing before it even reaches the military; there have been gripes about it on Twitter many months ago already.
