There seems to be no geographical limit to greed and corruption.
Cultural differences I suppose.

Careful... you may attract a Putin apologist vibe for highlighting corruption in Ukraine.

Of course its everywhere and across all colours of the political spectrum as I have been saying for years.

It results from people being people.

[youngmafbog]

Well politicians being politicians :-)

Maybe clearing out the barriers to being controlled by the EU Commision ?

They probably learnt it from the Russians

It's a sad fact that Ukraine in the past has been along with Russia one of the most corrupt countries in the world.
I think the war & the new government will & are putting an end to it.

"I think the war & the new government will & are putting an end to it."

thats impossible, more chance of finding unicorn teeth.....at best they might reduce it an insignificant amount and punish those caught...

[Khandro]

Perhaps ending it is a bit optimistic, I should say curbing it.

Corruption is rife in every country (including the UK with Nadhim Zahawi being accused of it at the moment) it's a matter of degree.

Culturally, it's actually expected in some countries. An essential component of doing business.

Let's just hope it doesn't go all the way to the top though, eh?
