Last year alone, 450,000 people left Ukraine without returning. Even under cautious estimates—assuming just 100,000 were men, half relied on illicit means, and the going rate for a bribe was $10,000—the corruption fuelling these escape routes amounts to at least half a billion dollars annually

We often confuse freedom with permissiveness, democracy with irresponsibility, righteous anger with ignorance, high moral standards with intolerance, and unethical behavior with elevated standards. In doing so, we forget that the most important thing in any life situation is to remain humane.

Negotiations between Donald Trump’s team and Russia are gaining momentum, long before the anticipated handshake — or a phone call — between the 47th U.S. president and Vladimir Putin. Moscow, unburdened by the decorum of subtlety, has already presented its “peace proposals.” shorturl.at/LbZvp
