According to my Polak husband, Ukarine has had a reputaion for a long, long, long time of corruption, thuggery, butchery, etc. Many of the concentration camp guards in the Polish camps set up by Germany, were staffed by Ukrainians. They did that for a reason. Ukraine had at that time a big Nazi party, and of course still does. It is also rich in natural resources. That’s all I know...
Answers my question. Thanks.
