I am not sure the argument for corruption adds up, given Ukraine's global corruption perception index scores are comparable to developing nations in Africa and Asia.

I see this statement a lot, but I am yet to see it substantiated. My home country hosts hundreds of thousands of refugees[1] however, speaking anecdotally, integrating people is difficult despite common ethnicities, languages, religions an

I think the situation is far more complex than just blanket blame of former colonial powers for present day problems. It is also disingenous to expect such countries to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps considering the legacy of co
