On August 9th, Ukraine’s censor.net news site headlined “International partners are ready to accept that we may have corruption, it is impossible to overcome it quickly, – Marchenko”, and reported that Ukraine’s Minister of Finance, Serhii Marchenko, said that day in an interview on the radio network “Svoboda” (meaning “Freedom”), “Our partners [U.S.-&-allied governments] understand that the cleansing of the government cannot be done” by denying that the problem exists, and then he went on to say that, “They are ready to accept that we may have corruption. Because no one will say that we are at war and corruption is over. Because corruption may have moved to a different format during the war.”
