The pervasive issues with corruption in pre-war Ukraine were universally recognized, not in the last place by Ukrainian officials.
In fact, you might remember US ambassador Yovanovitch, who was a staunch supporter of Ukraine’s anti corruption efforts, but had to go when it started interfering with President Trump’s own corruption. It was a whole thing. There was an impeachment and everything.
Anyway, two things can be true at once. Ukraine is the victim of a horrific war of aggression by its much larger neighbor and deserves our unwavering support. Ukraine has a serious corruption problem that needs to be at least partially addressed before it can be integrated fully into the western systems.
It’s not a slight to Ukraine to say this. It’s a recognition that we have work to do. Together.
Oh definitely, but not totally. I bet there's a large correlation of those that want to become democratic and those that oppose corruption
That's standpoint is way to reasonable. People want black and white.
