The oligarchs still dominate Ukraine’s political life today. They control the economy and the media, buy up judges and MPs and maintain their own parties and militias.
Even the European Union, which has been supporting its “strategic partner” Ukraine with funds and advisers for more than two decades, concludes:
“Oligarchs, high-ranking civil servants and corrupt prosecutors and judges are still dividing up the state among themselves, billions are disappearing abroad; Ukraine, with few exceptions, has made as little progress in building a constitutional state as it has in the fight against corruption.” . https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/01/22/ukra-j22.html
