Reminds me of how Americans credit or blame the president for current gas prices, as if he sets them himself.
What I'd want to know is what kind of corruption, and what specifically they think he did or didn't do to bring it about.-
Smash cut to Biden sitting in front of a big dial labled "GAS PRICE", every so slowly turning it further while giggling.

Way to expose how gas prices are set.

We can hardly blame Saudi Arabia because they're an ally.

Sounds like they want a dictator, not a president.

I feel like it's a bit of an ambiguous question: are they saying the president is responsible for tackling corruption, or that the president is responsible for fostering a culture of corruption?
Ultimately the buck stops at the top, and it's up to the president to get control of it.

That seems... Immature? I mean, in a general sense the guy on top is responsible for combating corruption, but really it's usually a systemic and cultural issue as well.
It has to change. They won't be able to join the EU without eliminating corruption. Zelenskyy, for his part, is firing these guys.
Lower the amount of corruption. We don't have a country in the EU which has eliminated it.
Isn't Zelensky also eliminating opposition parties? No corruption (tm)
Ukrainians should be grateful towards President Zelensky. He is a hero.
Whenever I read articles like this
https://www.theguardian.com/news/2021/oct/03/revealed-anti-oligarch-ukrainian-president-offshore-connections-volodymyr-zelenskiy
I immediately know these are Kremlin talking points, and not to be trusted.
Paradise Papers? Kremlin talking points!
The Guardian? Basically Putin's town crier!
Any kind of nuance that maybe Ukraine and/or Zelensky might not be literally perfect? Muscovite propaganda!
I mean, by all accounts Ukraine has a huge issue with corruption. But it's hardly the fault of the president, although it is of course part of his job (and platform) to force this to change.
The Guardian is indeed Kremlin propaganda. Ever since Ole Jacob Sunde took over (with known ties to the Kremlin), The Guardian has very slightly shifted their editorial stance to be marginally more pro-Russian.
