An article in Reuters by John Cohen detailing
pervasive corruption in Ukraine was titled:
Corruption In Ukraine Is So Bad, A Nigerian Prince
Would Be Embarrassed.' Lol. Imagine. The article
goes on to explain just how corrupt Ukraine is.
"When it comes to Ukrainian corruption, the
numbers speak for themselves. Over $12
billion per year disappears from the
Ukrainian budget, according to an adviser
to Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption
Bureau.
And in its most recent review of global
graft, anti-corruption watchdog
Transparency International ranked Ukraine
142 out of 174 countries on its Corruption
Perceptions Index — below countries such
as Uganda, Nicaragua and Nigeria. Ordinary
Ukrainians also endure paying petty bribes
in all areas of life. From vehicle
registration, to getting their children into
kindergarten, to obtaining needed medicine,
everything connected to government has a
price."
