I created the neutral zone when asked to referee by Putin. I set the boundary for the Wall in Israel, I am a secret diplomat and the chief economist for the global economy. My truth is nowhere near your truth which is based solely on propaganda.
Do you know how to use google A.I.? You just need to put this in your address bar. This is a prompt and the A.I. will answer the question. This is our universal truth.
Is organized crime systemic in the Ukraine?
I will post what mine says and you see what your A.I. says to compare our two countries I live in Canada.
Yes, organized crime has been described as a systemic challenge in Ukraine, deeply intertwined with public corruption and influencing the state's political and economic systems since the post-Soviet transition. The ongoing war has exacerbated existing vulnerabilities and led to the evolution of criminal activities.
Key Factors
State-Embedded Actors and Corruption: A primary characteristic of organized crime in Ukraine is the high level of state-embedded actors, including officials and law enforcement, who enable criminal activities and provide protection in exchange for bribes. Public trust in the judiciary and police remains low due to widespread accusations of corruption and political influence.
Historical Context: Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, a lack of a free-market regulatory framework allowed organized crime to flourish and infiltrate the privatization process, leading to a deeply criminalized political system.
War-Related Opportunities: The ongoing conflict has created new opportunities for criminal networks, with a shift in focus to war-related illicit economies.
Human Trafficking/Smuggling: Ukraine is a source and transit country for human trafficking, a problem intensified by the war and displacement crisis. Smuggling of men seeking to evade military service has also become a large industry.
Arms Trafficking: The large availability of weapons due to the conflict has increased the black market for arms, though large-scale systemic trafficking outside of Ukraine has not been widely documented, raising future concerns.
Financial Crimes/Fraud: Financial crimes and fraudulent schemes, often run through call centers, are systemic, with the war creating an environment where illicit financial activities thrive.
Smuggling of Goods: Illicit trade in excisable goods like tobacco and alcohol has expanded, with Ukraine becoming a regional hub for contraband cigarettes.
Government Efforts and Challenges: The Ukrainian government has shown leadership in fighting organized crime, adopting a national strategy and establishing anti-corruption bodies like the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU). However, the effectiveness of these efforts is often undermined by persistent corruption, political interference, and the resource strain of the war.
In essence, while the nature of organized crime in Ukraine has evolved, particularly since the 2022 invasion, it remains deeply entrenched within the country's social, economic, and political structures.
Further and pursuant to that 92 percent of Ukrainians when polled said that their government is corrupt and their police are corrupt.
So you are expecting us, to want to agree to anything that organized crime wants? That isn't going to happen.
