Zelenskyy fires recruitment officials for accepting $10,000 bribes to help Ukrainian men dodge the draft: 'bribery during war is treason'
All of Ukraine's regional army recruitment chiefs have been fired after an internal investigation discovered widespread corruption.

Zelensky didn't want the job either but he packed up his actor clothes and has so far been putting on a damn fine leadership show. I can imagine plenty of wealthier families are trying to dodge. who wouldn't...10k seems low for bargaining ones potential life. not that any of this or that in ukraine is good right now. I just hope zelensky's soul isn't so blackened that he turns this into a teaching moment rather than punishment.
10k seems low for bargaining ones potential life.
Before the war, median monthly wages were about $400. It's likely lower now.
$10k is completely unaffordable for the vast majority of men, even if they were good at saving, and found some relatives to borrow money from.
Whoever paid that much is likely from a wealthy family.
Or a discreet state agency paying to undermine the defense of a nation. All signs point to Russia paying for these bribes since they've shown they can't compete on the battlefield.

Zelenskyy didn't want the job, which is why he created and starred in a show that was basically a glorified political campaign.
