According to a recent poll published by the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation, 78% of surveyed Ukrainians believe that the president bears direct responsibility for corruption in the government and regional administrations. Only 18% of respondents disagreed with this statement.
I feel like it’s a bit of an ambiguous question: are they saying the president is responsible for tackling corruption, or that the president is responsible for fostering a culture of corruption?
Ultimately the buck stops at the top, and it’s up to the president to get control of it.
