Ukrainian border guard officer and aerial reconnaissance specialist Yurii Kasianov claims President Volodymyr Zelenskyy personally ordered the disbanding of his unit because he was a key witness in a corruption case involving drone manufacturer Fire Point, according to his statement on Facebook on Oct. 12.

So, Ukraine passed the stress test. Did it fix the machine? Law No. 12414 was rolled back in about a week; that shows resilience. It doesn’t show habit.

If those basics don’t stick, July reads as an exception, not a standard.
