Ukraine corruption index improves from 116 to 104. Russia dropped to 141 from 137. The higher the number the more corrupt the country is. The next time you see Russian bots saying, "Ukraine is so corrupt.", ask them how corrupt Russia is.
Make no mistake. Ukraine is corrupt. But they are trying to fix it so they can join the EU in the future. Russia, on the other hand, gets more corrupt every year.
Ukraine= 104
Russia = 141
Sorry, but as known Russian bot here, I just had to circle back and point out something.
You are right David. Russia is a bit more corrupt. Likely true.
But you know what? They are corrupt in their own feces.
While Ukraine..... You contribute to their corruption. I do. Every American paying taxes does. heck, every EU member did. Every single one of those 54 countries, supporting Ukraine does.
We all and they all FEED that corruption. And I worked very very hard for my money, to give them away to a corrupt regime that doesn't give rats tail about its people and its country. And, far I know, a person, who gives a bribe to a known corrupt person, is ancillary to crime.
That's a bow to you from a Russian bot.
I don't see any particular violence, when the French farmers are protesting against the government in this case. They are simply more creative than their German counterparts, who were protesting in the same manner a week ago. ( The severed ties with Russia simply destroyed their economy in general - plain and simple.)
Usually when I DO see violence on the streets of big French cities - that's when the so-called "French" are getting involved - i.e. their muslim population, that comes mostly from Africa.
Since when is setting fire to vehicles in protest not a violent act? I didn’t claim that people were hurt by this violence, but rather just that there was violence.
Well, the money isn't really missing. It's doing some people some good. It's not like it's been burnt up. People are using that money somewhere and if a lot of it does not help Ukraine, well then consider it an exercise in diversity and inclusion since individuals all over the world get to use it. More yachts, mansions, expensive cars, and weapons to all continents. Maybe some of it to Russia too. After all, we have to be inclusive of everyone.
Remember to keep throwing money into that Ukrainian black pot. Give til it hurts. It is doing some good somewhere.

If it's their own cars, I don't consider it a "violent act," since it doesn't threaten anyone's life or well-being.
However it's quite spectacular and serves the purpose of getting attention.
As I've said - French farmers are simply *more dramatic* and expressive than their German counterparts, who simply arrived to the gates of their government with food provision for a week and their own lodging in tow lol. But even Germans are learning from them now ( the French) how to dump the manure in front of the government buildings)))
Ukrainian air-launched cruise missiles struck the Belbek military airfield in occupied Crimea, destroying two Su-27 and one Su-30 aircraft. 12 Russian soldiers killed, 10 injured.
the 'Reporting from Ukraine' guy is back after being off for a month because of sickness..his war analysis is one of the better ones to watch regularly..usually only about 5 minutes long each..
Orbán finally capitulated under threats of destruction of the Hungarian economy by the EU. Behind closed doors, he may have won some concessions for Hungary, but that does not change the final result. In the end, the Union will pour another 50 billion euros into the people of Bandera! 33 billion will come from loans, 17 billion from grants, and Kyiv's money will flow until 2027.
The American Deep State's dream came true - it forced Europe to replace American funding of Ukraine with European funding. From now on, not only European billions, but also other weapons will be directed to Kiev to fight with Russia. It is enough to look at the desperate cries of SS Scholz, who in the last few days has called on European states for the greatest possible support and arms supplies to Ukraine, and it will be obvious to everyone.
So if anyone thought that the crazy adventure called the West's fight with Russia to the last Ukrainian was over, they are wrong. To be continued. And in the end, we citizens will pay for it all, because the billions from grants will have to be found somewhere. However, we will also pay the loan repayments, because the economically impoverished "black hole" before the collapse will never pay us back. Unfortunately, all euro leaders signed it
