The newspaper pointed out that “Zelensky came to power, promising to fight the wealthy, problems of the judicial system and organized crime, but he changed his policy after that.”
She wrote: “The Ukrainian leader sacked the reformists in his office and the head of the Central Bank, and also slowed judicial reforms and the fight against the oligarchy, and in particular, the measures taken against Igor Kolomoysky, and this in turn led to the refusal of the International Monetary Fund to continue to provide the loan of $ 5 billion, which without it. , The country will probably not be able to pay off the debt in the end. “
The newspaper added, “This situation worried Kiev’s allies in the United States, and that Biden was one of the strongest supporters of Ukraine’s independence when he was Vice President, and he called for the dismissal of the corrupt Attorney General, and his administration now continues this policy.”
