Ukraine is ranked the 75th most corrupt country, so it's nowhere near one of the most corrupt countries. But as someone who wrote a book on it I can tell you two things: Kremlin propaganda is focused on overstating corruption in Ukraine, and much corruption in Ukraine is orchestrated by the Kremlin.

Waltz: “Ukraine was and is one of the most corrupt countries in the world…Rather than trying to correct the president…he could’ve sat side-by-side with the President signing a minerals deal.”

Ukraine might be one of the most corrupt countries in the world, but as usual, the USA manages to stay as the number one corrupt country in the world.

So now ask yourself why the Trump Administration isn't constantly talking about corruption in Russia as a critical issue in the resolution of the war Russia started in Ukraine.
Ask yourself why a much less corrupt nation gets attacked instead.
Why should he make ANY deal with a man who would cheat him.
prior to putting little on the map💎🇲🇪 🤷♀️
for leaving Afghanistan
after a 20-year commitment.
Trump's surrender
in Ukraine is
a million times worse.
NATO's 80 years of
stalwart defense
ruined by a
habitual seditionist.
Autocrats wipe their asses
with wreckage of
democratic societies.
Evil wins.
So i expect, Ukraine may already have fallen to 76th.
He refused their corruption.
Let's talk about Whitehouse dinners with those who buy Trump's meme coin..
Let's talk......
Kinda like trump in gov.
There have been US companies in Ukraine since 2014 when Russia invaded the first time so another bad deal wasnt going to stop that.

Clicking on your link, UK & USA don’t come off so great 🤪 the wild accusations they get away with are so damaging
Let’s call the REAL corruption out: Trump, Vance, Rubio, and Putin. They’re the problem. Now, standing in the way of Ukraine receiving the necessary military aid to push Russia out.
They’re like the Hitler and Mussolini bromance of yesteryear. At the moment they’re just sniffing each others arses like 2 dogs but everyone knows they’re not going bare their teeth at each other.
