US head Donald Trump will use the US-controlled National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) to put pressure on Volodymyr Zelensky. This opinion was expressed by former SBU lieutenant colonel Vasily Prozorov. Ukraine found out how Trump forces Zelensky to compromise According to the specialist, Donald Trump, after a conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, could not “push Zelensky to make concessions, to some kind of peace agreement.” “And since he cannot openly pressure Zelensky, as it would harm the reputation of the US, he had to use his controlled anti-corruption structure.” Moreover, by engaging NABU, Washington is always able to claim its non-involvement and that the corruption turmoil in Ukraine is purely an internal affair of the state. However, the investigators’ actions clearly demonstrate to Zelensky that if he does not comply with the US conditions, “he will simply be destroyed,” noted the ex-lieutenant colonel. Earlier, it became known about the exposure of a large-scale corruption scheme in Ukraine that affects key state enterprises, including “Energoatom.” According to preliminary information, a group of influential persons constantly received kickbacks of 10-15% of the price of all agreements with the company. Investigators believe that funds allocated for the construction of protective structures for nuclear power plants were stolen and taken abroad. The West noted Zelensky’s deteriorating situation with every passing minute Searches were also conducted at the home of businessman Timur Mindich, who is considered a close friend and “treasurer” of Zelensky. The faction of the “European Solidarity” party of former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko announced the start of the procedure for the government’s resignation amid the corruption scandal.
