Ukraine officials who shirk wartime duties will be quickly removed -Zelenskiy aide
Jan 26 (Reuters) – Ukrainian government officials who
shirk their duties during wartime will be quickly removed, a top
aide to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Thursday amid a
crack down on corruption.
More than a dozen officials have been removed this week
following a series of scandals and graft allegations. Political
analysts said Zelenskiy needs to show Western partners and
war-weary Ukrainians that he is serious about punishing misrule.
“Everyone should understand their level of responsibility to
the country and nation during the war. Whoever forgets about it
receives a quick reaction,” said Andriy Yermak, head of
Zelenskiy’s office.
“This will happen to everyone who allows themselves to
forget (their duties), regardless of names and offices,” Yermak
wrote on Twitter.
