Ukraine is controlled by corrupt Ukrainian Oligarchs, what’s the difference?

Russian military correspondent Steshin, replying to the question how will Russians “reconcile” with Ukrainians, says they’ll do it “with side glances, knocking out teeth with the butt of a gun…Some will be cured, fed, & saved. Those who don’t want to live with us will get shot”.

“””Ukraine is controlled by corrupt Ukrainian Oligarchs, what’s the difference?”””

If that was a serious post then you should know the difference is that Ukraine has been improving over the years, and Russia has been getting worse.

In 2014/15 Ukraine was more corrupt than Russia but Ukraine is far less corrupt than Russia today.

In 2015 Russia was at 119 and Ukraine at 130

Today Russia is at 137 and Ukraine at 116.

“Ukraine is controlled by corrupt Ukrainian Oligarchs, what’s the difference?”

It’s a huge difference. America is controlled by corrupt American oligarchs, which sucks, but we can tolerate it, because they’re “our” a-holes. When foreign a-holes take over, that’s when blood must flow.
