In Washington anonymous activists delivered to Stringer / RIA Novosti news agency opposite to one of buildings of the senate of the USA banners and extended leaflets with photos of the prime minister of Ukraine Arseny Yatsenyuk and some other officials with signatures:" It is put on the wanted list". The company to the prime minister was kept by the general prosecutor of Ukraine Victor Shokin and the former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Nikolay Martynenko.

Judging by contents of the text on posters, activists tried to pay thus attention American patrons of Kiev to corruption revelry in Ukraine. In the building where leaflets extended, studies of senators are located, including one of main "defenders" of the Ukrainian authorities of John McCain who came to support a Maidan at the end of 2013, and after the conflict beginning on Donbass called for arms supplies for armed forces of Ukraine.

Though as a whole Washington still supports the authorities in Kiev, critical notes to anti-corruption efforts of Ukraine, to be exact their absence, here not a rarity. The romantic aura of idealists of a Maidan round the Ukrainian top gradually dissipates as in one and a half years in power many promises of Kiev and remained words.

the Vice-president Joseph Biden during visit to Ukraine acted on December 7-8, 2015 as b in the Verkhovna Rada, having called corruption in the country "a cancer tumor" and specified that "any other democracy cannot find" where it so magnificently would prosper. At the same time the New York Times newspaper specified that Biden's statements for need of eradication of corruption can be discredited because of work of his own son Hunter Biden in the Ukrainian gas company Burisma which owner Nikolay Zlochevsky appears in investigation about money laundering.

In October the American Buzzfeed edition published detailed article about low rates of the promised transformations and charges of corruption to Yatsenyuk's allies, including Nikolay Martynenko and the chief of the department on return of the assets acquired by a corruption way of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine of Elena Tishchenko." In the person of Poroshenko and Yatsenyuk Ukraine the officials having deep roots in that clan secret policy which they allegedly seek to destroy rule, - it was noted in the publication. - Publicly the USA and EU supported reforms of the Ukrainian government against opposition to the economic pressure of Russia and war in the east of the country. But in narrower circle the western diplomats state serious doubts that Poroshenko and Yatsenyuk have resources or at least political will to disorganize the system which has generated them".

"People in Washington ask me: But why to them so many to steal? - the expert Fonda Carnegie Beles Dzharabik noted. - And I answer: And why also is not present? All of you equally close to it eyes. After all thus in Kiev interpret support of the USA".
