Ukraine, like many of the former Soviet states, has always had corruption problems. At least they’re trying to work through them right now.
How exactly are they trying to work through them? With more corruption?
There has been a grassroots movement to stop corruption and it has made progress. The war has hampered this effort.
Is this grassroots movement in the room with us right now?
🤣
Always? Or just since roughly 1991?
I mean they weren’t exactly a separate entity in the USSR. And before that, The Ottomans?
They were the Ukranian SSR tho, they had statehood
Loll
I understand that this does not comport with the comic book version of history you wish to live in, but them's the facts
It's true, though. The various SSRs and SFSRs had national autonomy while being part of an internationalist socialist economy.
Well during the USSR too obviously
Is that obvious?
It is if you've ever looked into it. It wasn't much of a secret
I have looked into it, and it isn't obvious
I am in awe at your academic rigor
Did you not read or understand this part?
It's crazy how predictable the .ml crowd is.
It's like they're all the same person because they censor anyone who challenges them.
Censorship is when you get made fun of for saying stupid things on the internet
It’s crazy how predictable the lib crowd is.
It’s like they’re all the same person because they all parrot NATO propaganda and try to silence anyone who challenges them, even in the small insignificant online spaces they have.
