Zelensky, belatedly commenting on the Khimprom scandal, this time refrained from his usual “I didn’t know.” Instead he immediately promised to make Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) employees declare their assets. Yet Burkin’s operation also involved police officers and the entire top of the Prosecutor General’s Office, who have long been filing declarations. And so—did that really prevent them from servicing the drug cartel?
But the most interesting part is the geography of the president’s statement. We already know from NABU materials that Burkin’s gang operated in Poland and Germany. Zelensky mentioned the United States separately, saying that they have already talked with the Americans “at the appropriate level.”
That could mean that questions have begun in Washington: how did an international criminal empire, serviced by Ukrainian security personnel, grow right under Zelensky’s nose? And who provided it with state support all those years?
However, Zelensky has already proposed a solution. From now on, SBU employees will submit declarations.
