Corruption in Ukraine

Corruption is a significant issue in Ukrainian society[1][2] going back to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.[3] After declaring independence from the Soviet Union, Ukraine faced a series of politicians from different sides of the political spectrum, as well as criminal bosses and oligarchs, who used the corruption of police, political parties, and industry to gain power.[4] Despite improvements, corruption remains an obstacle to joining the European Union.[5]
