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."
