a billion dollars confirmed as missing. quite a hit.
Unfortunately as Minister of Defense the buck stops with him. He made several questionable appointments. But his friendship with the UK and USA liason allowed him to avoid removal the first time. This is the second time. Zelensky has no choice now.
I wonder how much of this unaccounted for money ended up in the hand of UK and USA oligarchs like the biden crime family.
Wasn't that Ukrainian crypto guy arrested for fraud after taking the aid money sent to Ukraine, putting it into his crypto, and laundering it into a bunch of democrat election campaigns?

Can you tell me what differance there is between Russian and Ukrainian culture? It seems hard to tell. Like if the British Empire was reformed, and Canada conqured America. I'd heisitate to call it genocide. What cultural traditions would be removed? I guess the 4th of July would no longer be celebrated. But what else? I mean Ukranians and Russians seem to be about as similar as Americas and Canadians. But you live in that part of the world so you know more about their differances, what are they?I agree that the term "cultural genocide" would be more appropriate, though Russia would probably go further than this, outright attempting heavy handed assimilation into Russian culture and national identity to destroy Ukrainians as a nationality.
On the other hand, can the term be that cheapened at this point anyway?
Look at the post 1945 entries. Some aren't that different at all.List of genocides - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
So it's plain severe ignorance. Separate language, a lot of differences in history and interpretation of it, and if you are interested in "national character" of course people also try to quantify that, for starters Ukrainians and Russians have quite different attitudes towards such major questions like having a strong authoritarian state:

So you think cultural genocide should have "similar and related cultures are fair game" exception?
Obviously there is even more difference between Ukrainians and Russians than British and Americans, as the chances a random Ukrainian and random Russian can communicate easily is far lower.
BREAKING:
Now that I have exposed Ukrainian Nazis working with the CIA and FBI, let me show you how this isn't a one time thing, and let me show you how our government is working with Ukrainian neo Nazis to instigate conflict in America and recruit for White Supremacist movements both domestically and internationally.
On Jan 6th, 2021, a known Ukraine Neo-Nazi spy was identified in front of the U.S. Capitol, and additionally confirmed to be a Ukrainian spy by the FBI in an interview with January 6th Defendant Jacob Chansley @AmericaShaman, also known as the Q-Anon Shaman.
I personally spoke to Jacob, and he confirmed to me that the FBI told him during an interview with him and his lawyer that the person he was pictured with at the Capitol on Jan 6th was in fact "a known Ukrainian spy". The FBI asked Jacob Chansley if he knew the Ukrainian spy. Jacob didn't know who he was, and said the man approached him and asked for a photo.
The FBI knew of a Ukrianian spy outside of the US Capitol on J6, and yet this was NEVER reported or even mentioned to the J6 Committee. This same Ukrainian spy who was identified by the FBI has been identified via facial recognition technology as Sergai Dybynyn, a neo-nazi who works in Ukraine.
Despite the picture with Jacob Chansley being taken at the front door of the U.S. Capitol, the FBI has never placed Sergai Dybynyn on their January 6th most wanted list, and he has not been arrested over J6 like @AmericaShaman was. Jacob Chansley was arrested and incarcerated, and yet Sergai Dybynyn, the U.S.-Backed neo-nazi still runs free with the help of the FBI.
Interestingly enough, Sergei Dybynyn was also once photographed with John McCain and @LindseyGrahamSC.
Is our Government using Ukrainian spies and Neo Nazis to instigate political conflict and falsely accuse Trump supporters of being white supremacists?
Let me remind you that there is also documentation of Ukrainian Nazis being present at the Charlottesville March, which @JoeBiden infamously used to launch his 2020 Presidential campaign by using false claims that Donald Trump said Nazis were "very good people". This lie was used to launch a massive cancel culture campaign aimed at Trump supporters, and it opened the door for the DOJ to accuse Trump supporters of being "white supremacists".
I believe that I have uncovered something massive, and I just happened to be in the right place at the right time this weekend in Altamonte Springs, Florida.
Our government appears to be using Ukrainian Nazis and American Nazis as confidential informants to recruit more Nazis to fight in the Ukraine-Russia war. And by doing so, they are endangering the lives of American Citizens and compromising our national security.
UKRAINIAN NAZIS ARE RECRUITING NAZIS FROM FLORIDA TO FIGHT IN THE UKRAINE WAR
One of the Nazis I caught on camera yesterday who was shouting slurs at me is a guy by the name of Kent McLellan. He goes by the name "Boneface" and his entire face is covered with tattoos.
Kent McLellan is an American neo-Nazi who fought in the Donbass as part of the Nazi Right Sector movement. He then joined Ukraine's Nazi Azov Battalion after Russia launched an attack on Ukraine.
According to one report from 2022, "McLellan received a Ukrainian passport in March of 2022. Kent McLellan is a man who has a swastika tattoo on half of his torso. He has killed civilians, has several convictions in the United States and heads several neo-Nazi associations. This man now has Ukrainian citizenship."
How is this man walking the streets and who is paying for his travel to Ukraine?
A source who reached out to me says they know Boneface and they said he's homeless and is often unemployed.
How is he affording plane tickets to Ukraine to fight Russia, and who paid him? How is he even able to travel freely between the US and Ukraine?
This is insane.
Kent McLellan is a US citizen and he says he lives in Florida. He is also the son of the front man of a Nazi rock band called "Brutal Attack".

So you want to ignore the mass kidnapping of UA children into Russia, the direct quotes of people in Russia themselves back at the start of the invasion admitting they expected to need 2 gens of occupation to 'Russify' Ukrainians, and the Russian's often saying Ukraine is a country with no right to exist.
I'm trying to figure out how to even explain to you how wrong you are, but the sheer level of either ignorance or believing things that are the opposite of true is so staggering, I don't even know if there's a reference point that would be within sight of wherever you are.
I thought that Ukranians and Russians were able to understand each other when speaking? If they can't that does lend credence to your arguments.
That's not exactly what I said. Ok let me ask you question to clear it up how do you genocide a people? Obviously you can kill them all and move in your own people. But let's say you aren't killing them. You can still genocide them that would be by forbidding them from practicing their religion, cultural customs, festivals, and language. Poland is different from Russia and Germany. Germany if it conqured Austria wouldn't really be able to genocide them culturally because they are the same they speak the same language they have similar festivals and ways of life.
If what you said about language is true then it is true.
The mass kidnapping of Ukrainian children would work.
Ok? What is your point those are second languages the majority in both speak English. Tell me how would Canadians genocide Americans or Americans genocide Canadians(without mass killings) Because cultural genocide means that a people are basically no longer themselves. If China or the Japanese empire conquered a European province and they forced the people to live in a different way you can see how they are different. More than just politics.
Some portion of Ukrainians speak Russian, some Ukrainian, and some both to varying degrees. Ukrainian is a Slavic language, so it's kinda understandable to all other Slavs in a limited way, but the same goes for Polish, Czech, Russian and so on. Personally i find Ukrainian and Czech easier to understand than Russian, can catch what around 30-50% of words mean if someone is speaking very clearly, which is to be expected because those have more Polish influence than the Russian language.
And it still wouldn't make everyone like his rule.
Let's say you do genocide with chinese characteristics like some from the end of the list.
No, that's not the only difference. As i said, it's an insane "it's not cultural genocide if a similar culture does it" caveat. This is ridiculous, and seems mostly based on your personal ignorance of how similar cultures still have a lot of subtle differences that someone without close knowledge of them usually won't know about.
Yes, Kyiv was under Polish or Lithuanian rule for as almost as long as it was under the rule of Moscow, and it does show in the culture.
Gradually turned into "autonomy". As in they were treated like shit, like everyone in Russia is.
Quotes aren't actions, i think that distinction is pretty clear.
The thing is that Russians were now quite clear that they also will not accept Ukrainians as a separate nationality and culture even inside Russia, because having such a large culturally separate population in an empire is obviously an issue, as everyone can see now, it is a group that doesn't want to be ruled by Russians and will try to overthrow this rule whenever it can. Hence, cultural genocide.
Congratulations, you may be the first example I have personally seen of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
