but how can you say "groundless", foreign minister, when we know that ukraine still struggles with endemic corruption? in the last couple of days, we've had a deputy minister — he's responsible for communities and infrastructure — arrested on suspicion of taking a $400,000 bribe. we've had allegations in the ukrainian press about defence procurement being riddled with corruption, where foodstuffs, for example — basic foodstuffs for military personnel — are being overpriced so people can cream off a profit. these are allegations that are coming from within ukraine which suggest you haven't fixed the corruption problem. with all respect, stephen, i think the word "endemic" is an overstatement. as any other country in the world, yes, we have cases of corruption, but i remember ukraine many years ago when officials would be turning a blind eye to corruption cases and would continue serving.
