So Russians are corrupt and Ukrainians are as pure as the driven snow?

That’s a laugh.

The either-or fallacy occurs when someone incorrectly presents a limited number of options as though there were no alternatives. In such cases, they have (intentionally or unintentionally) overlooked other possibilities.

This distortion usually works by presenting only two extreme choices (when there are actually more) or by suggesting that these choices are mutually exclusive (when they are not).

This is a manipulative method that forces others to accept the speaker’s viewpoint as legitimate, feasible, or ethical.
The either-or fallacy is also known as the false dilemma fallacy, false dichotomy, or false binary.

Then you are a funny person.

Here is a summary according to the Corruption Perception Index.
Over the past 25 years,

  1. Ukrainians have improved their corruption score by more than double, putting them well ahead of Russia today.

  2. Russia's scores have fluctuated but remain among the world's most corrupt countries.

  3. USA scores have gotten worse by more than 10% in recent years.
So claims we see frequently from pro-Russian propagandists that Ukraine is irredeemably corrupt are outdated at best.
