POSOBIEC: Ukrainian Govt Officials Purged After CIA Director Visit to Kiev

Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec reacted to the ZeroHedge article, "Ukraine Rocked By Corruption Scandal, Wave Of Top Officials Resign: Sports Cars, Mansions & Luxury Vacations As People Suffered."

Posobiec explained there was also "an egg swindle involved in all of this," explaining that the egg swindle was when members of the Ukrainian government were "procuring eggs at a low cost, but then charging the government a much higher cost for it and pocketing the difference."

Posobiec said that, thus far, a top presidential advisor, four deputy ministers, and five regional governors all resigned or having been fired. 

"This is mismanagement of aid funds for food, embezzlement, driving expensive cars while of course, the common people suffer under wartime conditions," said Posobiec, who then discussed what he saw when he went to Ukraine last year.

Posobiec said then that the media "wants you to take sides," either siding with Russia or Ukraine. "My side is obviously, I don't want there to be war, but at the same time my side is always going to be the side of the people, and I'm going to call out anybody that stands in the way of peace, because there are good people who are caught in the middle of this thing, who don't deserve this. They never deserved this."

The ZeroHedge article explains that "In reference to the announcement by a senior government official, Oleg Nemchinov, international reports detail the following list: 

Deputy Prosecutor General Oleskiy Symonenko
Deputy Minister for Development of Communities and Territories Ivan Lukeryu
Deputy Minister for Development of Communities and Territories Vyacheslav Negoda
Deputy Minister for Social Policy Vitaliy Muzychenk
And the regional governors of Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Sumy and Kherson

Were all either fired or resigned from their posts."

ZeroHedge continues, "Just prior to the wave of resignations, another official named Vasyl Lozynskiy was accused of receiving bribes to "facilitate" the purchase of generators at greatly hiked-up prices. Crucially, Lozynskiy as Deputy Minister of Infrastructure and Communities Development would have also been directly involved in overseeing how billions of dollars in Western humanitarian and infrastructure assistance gets doled out," they write in their article.

Posobiec added that, if you think "it's bad what they did with the eggs, wait til you find out what they've been doing with the guns... and the arms that have been sent to Ukraine. The missiles... This stuff goes missing before it even arrives at the front lines. They're selling it off to gangs in Kyiv, they're selling it off to anybody that's got the money to pay for it because the money's flowing, and the guns are flowing."
