Under the old regime, leftovers from the Russian era, Ukraine was even more corrupt than Russia.

Today Ukraine is far less corrupt than Russia, and Ukraine is moving up on the less corrupt scale while Russia is getting worse on it.

Zelensky and his party are reformers, it isn’t 2015 anymore.

In 2015 Russia was ranked as less corrupt than Ukraine.

In 2015 Russia was at 119 and Ukraine at 130

Today Russia is at 137 and Ukraine at 116.

“Today Russia is at 137 and Ukraine at 116.”

Russia is much worse than that ranking when Putin can skim enough oil and gas profits to be as wealthy as Jeff Bezos. But at least Putin is superannuated skank free, unlike Bezos
