[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ukraine doesn’t want to be a corrupt Russian puppet. [/quote]

It doesn't need to be a Russian puppet to be corrupt.   See Transparency International 2021. [/quote]

They needed to get rid of the Russian oligarchs but also the corrupt Ukrainians who were fronting for the Russian oligarchs. That’s what the [b]IMF, EU, and US were trying to do, set up anti-corruption systems and practices[/b] that were independent. That’s why Trump, Giuliani, Perry, et al had to smear Yovanovitch. They were working for the Russian oligarchs and the corrupt Ukrainians. [/quote]

LOL I would just say, with all my kindness, that most countries where the US & Co. tried to set up "anti-corruption practices" responded with creating a new set of corruption mechanisms that successfully siphoned off what the US has pumped in.  I mean, really.  You cannot change culture overnight, and Ukraine's culture, like all FSU territories, simply does not view corruption as a deadly sin.[/quote]

That’s why it is a long-term process that needs consistent policy and pressure. Ukraine voted to get rid of corrupt actors but some were still embedded in the government and Giuliani and Trump took the bad guys side. Trump sold out the US and Ukraine to keep the money laundering coming. [/quote]
