The US tax code is an unimaginably huge pile of dung. It has been mutilated ad nauseam for social engineering and to benefit the politicians, large corporations, and their buddies. It's an undecipherable embarrassment that fleeces the middle class. They can't get enough money from the upper class because there aren't enough of them. They can't get much money from the lower class because they don't have much to give. So the bulk of the tax money flows from the middle class to the upper class, who dole some of it out to the lower class to keep buying their votes. Lots of it flowing through the big Ukrainian laundry these days.
As we have seen with Russian sanctions the banking / financial institutions are run and regulated by the "west". The bulk of suspect money was / is channelled through both New York and London. This laundering can only happen because it is allowed by our governments. It doesn't matter who is in government Trump / Biden or Sunak / Starmer in the U.K. they will continue to facilitate this long standing financial arrangement.
Ukraine does not make the rules. It applies those which others set
