while Ukraine was already corrupt, its corruption seems to have increased exponentially with as waves of IMF billions washed into the country. This money was a lot easier to embezzle, compared to trying to squeeze a few more kopecks from poor Ukrainians.
2/ but it worked out just as the same, as the already poor Ukrainian population were saddled with billions of IMF debt, much, if not most, of which was either embezzled, wasted or to promote vanity.
3/ Biden and Poroshenko snickered at the political groups which wanted to turn down the IMF money. Both did whatever they could to keep the funnel open. But did these loans actually benefit ordinary Ukrainians? A legitimate question.
