State of corruption: Zelensky’s circle and billions in graft

The Timur Mindich corruption saga is the nightmare Vladimir Zelensky can’t seem to wake up from. Wrapped up in a $100 million embezzlement scheme, Zelensky’s former finance-man keeps making headlines with connections to new and more complex graft plots, but his story is just the tip of the iceberg. Defense money pocketed, no-bid contracts, fugitive oligarchs, and anti-corruption agencies weaponized in political turf wars: every story further implicates Zelensky and his inner circle – and draws more unwanted attention from their Western sponsors. RT’s ‘State of Corruption’ peels back the layers of bribery, fraud, and theft holding Zelensky’s Ukraine together, revealing a state where everyone’s on the make, and everyone has their price.
