The Ukrainian army attacked the Russian army for the first time on 24 August with a new weapon, the Palianytsia drone missile. [Palianytsia is a traditional Ukrainian bun; this word is difficult for Russians to pronounce correctly, so it is used as a shibboleth – ed.]

You can be corrupt and still have thriving industry and even innovate.
Corruption is a scale, so it’s fair to say all countries are corrupt. The main impact is on people without a direct line with politicians, which means CEOs get to benefit the most - after politicians of course.
