That's very informative and I would be interested in hearing more about your backgrounds. I imagine that old soviet culture of using power for graft and bribes will take a while to change completely. What do you think of what Zelenskyy has done so far?

My wife is from Ukraine., I am full American. She is not able to articulate her opinions in English very well. She has always said she does not like Zelensky, saying he is corrupt but with no details. I was curious but said he is doing a job representing Ukraine to the world and getting military help. This post is appreciated because it sheds some light to the story. Thank you.

This is a great article which answers some questions I had about the sacking of the Kyiv Post’s journalists. I am a patron of the Kyiv Independent and in their back story they described how they had been sacked by the owner of the KP - I wanted to know more but, thought it best not to pry.

So good to read what really happened.

Sláinte.

PS. Happy Independence Day. 🇺🇦🔱
