Corruption is one of the major talking points in Russian propaganda against Ukraine, questioning why money should go to those who misuse it. In Episode 3 of our UNCHAINED podcast, we take a close look at how Ukraine is tackling corruption alongside its efforts on the frontlines. Hosted by Inna Nelles, this episode discusses with Mattia Nelles, co-founder of the German-Ukrainian Bureau and a Ukraine expert. We talk about common misconceptions about Ukraine, how to counter the idea of a corrupt nation spread by Russia, the impact of anti-corruption reforms, and the road ahead. The podcast explores how both the war and European integration are driving anti-corruption work. But the biggest win is that we're standing together against corruption, actively working to minimize and eliminate it.
