Reply to comment by rldogamusprime in Ukraine proposes creating mechanism for auditing US aid for recovery projects by progress18

But Ukraine has huge problem with corruption. As Pole that went there many time to buy things like sweets,vodka etc and resell in Poland.

And its not only corruption in politics, its also police, guards etc. Its like my own country 30 years ago. When you want to do something you need money for regular price + bribe money so it's done.

It is interesting to read from a Ukrainian perspective. I am 32 y.o and never in my life gave a bribe. I do this out of principle and my life was just fine so far.

I m 31, 11 years ago I gave plenty of bribes to police and guards, just because I had PL on my car or I would have to wait unreasonable time to do anything.

Both police and guards suggested that if I give them money everything will be fine.

Yes, yes they do have a lot of problems with it but this gets the ball rolling and hopefully the initiative will carry onward after Zelensky presidency and war times as well.

It is better in Poland now though? How did Poland fix their corruption problem? (Is it because of the collapse of the Soviet Union?)

It's because of collapse of Soviet Union and simply older ppl died.

I got a lot of down votes because truth is harash, ppl that comment here never travelled to Ukraine.

Mate you are on reddit where like 80% of users are from the U.S. and americans generally don't know where areUkraine and Russia geographically located and can't show them on the map.

Stop trying to say things that are true and don't feel the narrative.
