By equating corruption to treason, Zelenskyy’s office is manipulating the public’s desire for justice, said Vitaly Shabunin, head of the Anti-Corruption Action Center (Antac), a Ukrainian nongovernmental organization that monitors graft. In reality, Shabunin added, Zelenskyy’s office is pursuing other goals: to protect high-level officials from corruption charges and obtain tools to destroy opponents.

Razor. Dude didn’t take the treasury and a US Uber at the start of the war but signed up for the hard stuff of leading the country.

This simple miscalculation in character cost Putine everything.

Whatever draft dodgers like Trump are accusing him of - the reality remains, he did not run and instead bailed western balls to the wall to give his country what it needs to beat the vatniks

Yes exactly. And that's why I don't jump to the assumption that Zelenskyy himself is corrupt or he is covering for the corruption of others.
A dude that would tolerate corruption doesn't say 'I need ammunition not a ride'. He could have bailed at any point, still could. But he shows no signs of losing resolve.
If Zelenskyy is trying to keep inner circle corruption private to avoid public spectacle, I suspect that whoever is found guilty will probably end up wishing they were arrested publicly rather than dealing with the security service.
