Ukraine political parties are bought and sold

In Ukraine, the sale of political parties is a growing concern, with individuals like Batyr Usarov, who has a criminal record, taking leadership roles. This trend highlights a market where parties are bought and sold. The article details how individuals, such as Denys Necheporuk, are involved in managing multiple political parties, some with questionable backgrounds. Necheporuk allegedly offers parties for sale, with prices around $60,000, and has business ties to Russia. This practice raises concerns about potential Russian influence in Ukrainian politics, especially as the country anticipates post-war elections. The lack of updated laws and the ease of party acquisition exacerbate the problem.
