Recently, a paragraph is popular on the Internet: "In 2021, the Russian army ranked second in the world. At the end of 2022, the Russian army ranked second in Ukraine. Now that in 2023, the Russian army ranks second in Russia."On the last day, the mercenaries of the Wagner Group's mercenaries did make people re -think of the administrative and crisis management capabilities of Russia and President Putin.
Because the negotiations failed, in 24 hours, Wagner and leader Pleigo starred in the drama of rebelling from Russia from the mercenary armed forces to Russia, to a thousand miles back to run back to the station.Mercenary is a special profession. They generally do not fight for the country and morality, just for money and their own interests.In the past, Putin, who felt like to treat himself as the world's second largest president (second only to the President of the United States), what conditions did these Wagner Group mercenaries have been given?
Many Polish media noticed that the Russians did not respond too much about this incident; some comments emphasized that this incident was the consequences of the state's monopoly right to legal use of violence to private actors.It seems that the cooking (Porigo Ren) dishes this time are very appetizing.Whether a dictator of more than a dozen countries in Africa will learn from the incident, that is, we will not know the number of Russian mercenaries for its own security.However, it is certain that the internal fighting of Pryigon and the Russian military has triggered a series of changes in the Ukrainian situation. This internal fighting has brought new opportunities to Ukraine.Negative impact.Thousands of mercenaries came to White Ross to increase the pressure on the north of Ukraine, and also increased the tension between Poland and the Berlos border.
It is unavoidable that now we must start thinking about rebuilding the big project of Ukraine.
As the hope of rebuilding after victory is increasing, it has to propose Ukraine's largest internal challenge.That is to solve the problem of its domestic systemic corruption, otherwise don't dream of joining the EU family.
Ukraine has always been one of the most corrupt countries in Europe. When applying for joining the European Union last year, one of the EU's review elements is to improve the problem of corruption in Ukraine.According to reports, the World Bank estimates in 2022 that Ukraine's reconstruction must cost US $ 349 billion (about S $ 470 billion).Although the war condensed many Ukrainians, official corruption was still ill.The anti -corruption is unsuccessful, and Ukraine will not be able to expect the country where the destroyed is destroyed, because all the aids are not unlimited and unconditional.
After the war broke out, more than 80 oligarchs in Ukraine fled collectively, and were ironically called the "Monaco" by Ukraine (editors: they fled Monaco).So far, the corruption of Ukrainian officials has been revealed one after another.For example, the day before the Wagner Group launched a mutiny, Ukrainian President Zelezzky ordered a special committee to investigate the possible corruption behavior of the recruitment office of the country in the country.In addition, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense purchases foods such as eggs, potatoes (potatoes) at a price of two to three times higher than the market price. The difference between the middle price is divided by officials and suppliers.In addition, the construction law adopted by the Ukrainian parliament has also triggered a lot of controversy. The law is accused of formulating it based on the interests of the developer.Last month, a young and bold Supreme Court Dean was detained for suspected bribery and found 3 million US dollars in cash in her house.All this happens in a country where hundreds of young patriotic fighters are sacrificed every day.
Ukrainian systemic corruption issues are manifested in all aspects.
A friend of my western Ukraine, her daughter graduated from medical major this year, but recently received the request from the professor, saying that she would write a master's dissertation for her, but she had to pay 400 euros (about S $ 590)The compensation, and the professor did not agree with the students to write by themselves.
The girl's mother regrets the immoral attitude of the professor, and she regrets the high price proposed by the other party.The friend also said that a few years ago, in Ukraine, some people bribed some doctors to open a false certificate for "children's vaccine" because they were worried about the side effects of vaccine vaccination.At that time, non -official statistics that millions of refugees who could not verify whether vaccination had been vaccinated into Poland could pose a threat to Polish national security.These cases are explained from different aspects: Ukraine lacks mutual trust.
Is there still hope in Ukraine?Is it possible to completely cure corruption?In fact, Poland is a good example.
No one would believe that Ukraine could insist on resisting aggression a year ago. Why can't I reform myself?Through will and efforts, a country can rebuild itself from the greatest destruction. Poland is the best proof.
At the end of 1989, the Polish Parliament passed the amendment to the Constitution, and the Polish people's Republic was renamed the Republic of Poland.This year's changes in Poland are huge. Polish will firmly yearn for Western society and promote the market economy. In the time of a generation, it abandoned the previous common "can arrange", "walk back the door" and various kinds of various kinds"Tips" is just to become a highly developed society.Of course, this may also benefit from the revision of the law and in order to meet the requirements of the EU, but the most important thing is the determined will to oppose corruption in the whole society, rebuild the national reputation, entrepreneur spirit, and change of the people's will.The biggest success was achieved.
Poland in 1990 is similar to the GDP of Ukraine during the Soviet Union.By 2020, Poland's GDP was 3.5 times that of Ukraine.Now due to war, Ukraine's GDP has dropped by 30%.Today's Ukraine is bravely fighting the invaders to gain admiration and respect of the free world, but if it does not want to eliminate corruption, it will never really embark on the path where Polish society has passed.
