Do not allow even a hint that the principles of democracy and the rule of law may be violated in Ukraine (attempts to hide such things are meaningless in the information age of the 21st century).

Not to disrupt, but to strengthen unity, not hindering, but facilitating all possible political, economic & social contacts of Ukrainians with allies, as well as "third countries", which are trying to know their benefit "outside the battle".

No government can handle these issues on its own, not worth trying. Not to hide, not to replace with fake cases, but to investigate on the merits & fundamentally correct the problems of corruption, abuses & inefficiency, especially regarding the Armed Forces & their provision
