Most of the headlines I see are basing their reporting on conclusions made by Transparency International, and I am definitely not confident enough in them based on the limited amount I can glean to trust their assessment isn't biased here.
I mean it certainly seems like this is a potential crisis in Ukraine, but I am an outside observer so I am trying to be careful here. It does not seem like a move that would make sense for Zelensky right now, even in the event he does not want to relinquish power because he has succombed to the same addiction...
shrugs if any Ukrainians want to weigh in I am interested!

Pravda is a good Ukrainian source though. It's independent from the government and not pro-Russian in any shape or form. The number of Ukrainians protesting speaks for itself and eliminates the need to trust Transparency International here.
Good point!
