Did Mr. Zelensky also care to explain why his country was still utterly reliant on “communist-era rubbish Russian infrastructure” three decades after gaining independence? Prior to the invasion, Ukraine was considered one the most corrupt countries in Europe. Until steps are taken to address this fundamental issue, it almost doesn’t matter how much money you pour into Ukraine’s reconstruction.

The message is - if it’s been like that for three decades, and possibly more, maybe it’s not so “rubbish”, and it surely is as much “rubbish Ukrainian infrastructure” as Russian, because its USSR-made, y’know.
