Oleksii Khmara: Ukraine needs to get grip on corruption
Last month, anti-corruption protesters in Ukraine surrounded the Kyiv parliament building waving gold-painted loaves of bread.
A vintage car collection, exotic birds and a gaudy palace; former Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych was seemingly living the high life even as his country's economy stalled. Now, as economic growth goes into reverse, Ukraine is in desperate need of financial help. The question is whether the country's lawmakers will do what they must to persuade the world that there won't be a repeat of Yanukovych's gaudy lifestyle.
