The other war: Ukraine's enduring battle against corruption | DW News
While Ukraine continues its struggle against Russia's invasion, another war has been raging within the country for years: corruption has been a long-standing internal enemy since the collapse of the Soviet Union, with high-profile investigations exposing corrupt practices at various levels. It poses significant implications for Ukraine's future, including its military efforts and aspirations of joining the EU. The High Anti-Corruption Court has managed to produce verdicts despite the ongoing conflict with Russia. Additionally, efforts are being made to remove corrupt judges and reform the Constitutional Court, a key demand from the EU.

Corruption is a cancer on a country's soul
Ukraine has made huge steps in its anti-corruption measures. However, by being part of the Soviet Union, where corruption wasn't just ignored but expected, corruption became endemic and embedded in Ukrainian culture. The situation became much worse after the Soviet Union collapsed. When the resources of Russia were stolen by a few, encouraged and protected by the army and FSB led by plunderer-in-chief Putin, Ukraine had another model to emulate. Many western companies were successful in Ukraine, but the experiences of myself and many others were not random. Broken contracts were the norm, and recourse to the law was an exercise in futility because the courts themselves were "open for business." Gaining membership to the EU is a long and arduous process for any country. For Ukraine, corruption is a major impediment. It is encouraging to know that Ukraine is taking the journey seriously and, whatever happens after Putin's ego trip that has cost so many lives and such devastation, Ukraine will have learned so much. It will have the institutions to match the courage, strength and resilience of its people.
@enemyofthestatewearein7945
Жыл бұрын
Trust and the fair rule of law is what allows business to flourish, in an environment where investment, production and trade can be done with confidence that hard earned gains will not be stolen by others. The problem with the former Soviet countries (and others like China) is there is a deep cultural distrust of 'the system', resulting in an 'everyone for themselves' culture. Both systems are self reinforcing so it takes huge effort for a country to switch from one to the other. It's an especially difficult transition for countries with extensive natural resources, because this allows a highly dysfunctional state to continue and appear successful, while in reality they are just dependent on 'unearned' wealth e.g. from Oil or Mineral sales. It's likely therefore that the move away from fossil fuels will change this dynamic somewhat, albeit resources of other types will likely become the same issue in other parts of the world.

Well done in producing this report DW, I used to live in Ukraine, the curruption is horrific, there is no punishment, none, for officials, the worst they may recive is free access to exit the country with bags of money like the deputy of defense did earlier this year, uninterrupted
South Africa needs that system... what and who stole taxpayers money...
the first step in resolving an issue is acknowledging it. Ukraine had a major issue on this part throughout the 90's and 2000's. it's first now that it can treat this disease.
As a person from Europe, i want betterment of European people ,it can only be achieved by boycotting Chinese products . Long live democracy.

How would you propose building all the parts to make a car, fridge or freezer in the EU without any Chinese parts? During the lockdowns air freight was used to transfer car parts to EU airports as well as parts for other industries. Some goods are marked "Assembled in the EU which rather gives the game away.
so finally western media is able to 'see' it...🤣🤣

would love the see the US actually try and fight its own corruption :/

Right. Use greater coruption to fight lesser coruption, it's Ukrainian way to solve political things.
Great to see corruption is being tackled, the driver for anticorruption is EU membership. decentralization of power, investigators, judiciary and press are necessary. My country has been independent almost 75 years and corruption is widely prevalent and worse than it was under colonial rule.
They must be rooted out
That was there before the war

@PickledPixiePie Except no one is fighting for justice or against corruption in Ukraine. It's all about joining NATO and the EU for which the Ukrainian people will end up eating dirt.
Maybe the US should do the same? Anita Hill warned us.

There's also another thing about IT solutions helping in reducing corruption, at least at the clerical level or the mid-management level in that if you set up processes, systems that is, in which you deal with things like payments for fines or fees or taxes, you eliminate the personal contact necessary for some sets of corruption. This helps, especially if the system is set up in such a way that it is both fair, and effective. But it is the high level corruption that is the real problem in the old Soviet system. Of course it couldn't survive without all of the low level stuff too. So there has to be one, a cultural change which is ongoing, a process change which is also ongoing, transparency at all levels which is being attempted at this point, a fair and equitable system that does both effect of governance at the small level and has the support of the people because they trust it due to the system dealing with corrupt individuals. So the judicial system must in fact be independent, in addition to all of the other things above. There is a good argument to be made that while elections of judges is not perfect it at least self-correcting, whereas appointed judge systems like the ones that exist in many parts of the world including a hybrid system in the United States where you have both elected and appointed judges, appointed judges are much more prone to being controlled by outside influences and protected from individual judges shenanigans by these outside influences. Elections have their own problems, but it does provide a self-correcting mechanism for limiting corrupt individuals and even systems, given a long enough period of time
