Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will propose to the Verkhovna Rada to equate wartime corruption with high treason, the relevant bill will be sent in the coming week.
“For me personally, the war is No. 1. Should I find more time to fight corruption? Are we going to do it? Absolutely. But I don’t have, how can I tell you, a lot of time to deal with the details, because there are really little things,” Zelensky said in an interview with Natalia Moseychuk, made public on her YouTube channel.
According to him, “if you want to fight the local paving stones, there is no way to fight the paving stones of every city.”
“There are fundamental solutions, I pay attention to them. For example, corruption. I put the task to the legislation. The legislator of Ukraine will be offered my proposals to equate corruption with high treason in wartime. And I realize that such a weapon cannot operate permanently in society. But for wartime, I think it will help,” he said.
