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."
