The Minister of Agrarian Policy of Ukraine Mykola Solskyi, who is suspected of illegally seizing state land, was released on Hr.75.7 million ($1.9 million) bail.

According to the Ministry of Agrarian Policy’s press service, Solskyi continues to perform his duties, despite being charged on Thursday, April 25.

I expect every country that has served a prison term under russian oppression will require a period of transition to weed out corruption and inefficiency or incompetency (as russian military illustrates).

Ukraine appears to be making rapid progress towards addressing russian style corruption and consistent application of fair laws. Their EU ascension will solidify these.



Frankly I'm having a hard time recalling a western institute that I could say is currently efficiently run. Not due to corruption, which is much more rare in societies with open media (aka public shaming) and reliable legal oversight, but perhaps those working in them have simply lost their sense of ownership of the problems they were hired to solve. Despite generally fair renumeration (or sometime absurdly high renumeration for some upper management), many workers seem to have have lost motivation. There are many reasons for this, all correctable, but which I won't get into here.



I personally think we are going to see some interesting breakthroughs in both business and public institute performance from Ukraine.... if they can carry through their massive wartime unity towards future actions of common good.

Amidst their suffering, they endure and have gained what used to be democracy's secret sauce for prosperity....unity, strong work ethic and a environment fostering innovation.

Meanwhile...russia repeatedly under putrid flushing itself into cesspool status.

Great! You steal a few million and get to keep your job. Imagine how much money Zelensky has in his Cayman Islands bank account courtesy of stupid American taxpayers.
