Corruption
Further information: Corruption in Ukraine
Corruption is a widespread and growing problem in Ukrainian society. In 2014's Transparency
International Corruption Perceptions Index Ukraine was ranked 142nd out of the 175 countries
investigated (tied with Uganda and the Comoros).
Bribes are given to ensure that public services are delivered either in time or at all. [7] Ukrainians
stated they give bribes because they think it is customary and expected. According to a 2008
Management Systems International (MSI) sociological survey, the highest corruption levels were
found in vehicle inspection (57.5%), the police (54.2%), health care (54%), the courts (49%) and
higher education (43.6%).On 8 June 2011 Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych stated that
corruption costs the state budget US$2.5 billion in revenues annually and that through corrupt
dealings in public procurement 10% to 15% (US$7.4 billion) of the state budget "ends up in the
pockets of officials".
According to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the main causes of
corruption in Ukraine are a weak justice system and an over-controlling non-transparent government
combined with business-political ties and a weak civil society. Corruption is regularly discussed in
the Ukrainian media.
In May 2018, Estonian President Kersti Kaljulaid stated that corruption is the primary factor that is
holding back the development of Ukraine and it can only be resolved with a strong political will after
a meeting with the head of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), Artem Sytnyk.

Theft
In 2017, the main segment of crime was theft with 52% proportion of the total crimes in Ukraine.
