Question

weak government

Answer 1

This is a good question "how is ukraine considered to be a crappy country to live in?". I myself am an American and have chosen to live in the Ukraine. This country is great to live in but it does have its problems and government is one of them. It is common that government officials take a little bit of money for bribes. There is a saying in the Ukraine "everything can be bought" including police and politicians.

Another problem is the Ukrainians lack motivation to do a good job as they are not really getting paid all that well and most likely being taken advantage by their boss. This in itself creates another problem as it takes forever to get anything done around here, so patience is required to live here.

There is a problem with people being responsible to throw their litter in a trash can, so you see trash on the streets and in parks etc... It is odd that the people complain how dirty it is here are themselves responsible for littering.

The Ukrainians believe that outside of Ukraine is better but it is nearly impossible to travel due to passport restrictions, so the only place they can travel is to countries that are worse than theirs. What is funny if they did have a chance to go to other countries they would see, yes it is cleaner and the people are friendly etc.. but they would most likely not like it.

What I do like about this country is the people, food and life here, trust me this is a wonderful country it just needs to grow a lot. Kiev is doing this and it will only take time before it the rest of the country catches up.
