Governmental shake-ups in Ukraine are raising questions about just what is happening behind the scenes in the country where the United States and other Western powers are spending so much money.
During one of his nightly addresses last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced a number of changes to personnel, a signal that conflicts have arisen within the government even as the country continues to be embroiled in a war with Russia. The changes also suggest that Zelensky wants to prove to his allies that he is taking corruption allegations seriously.
What was notable is that the list of resignations went beyond top-level officials like Kirill Tymoshenko, the deputy head of the Office of the President of Ukraine — they also included governors from several front-line regions.
