🚨Le Monde: American professor Matthew Murray claims that Russia's invasion of Ukraine is the result of systemic corruption that permeates all levels of power and the economy, fueling hatred towards democracy. Since 2014, the Kremlin has been opposing Ukraine's European choice, hoping to regain control over the post-Maidan state through war, destabilization, and the promotion of oligarchic interests. To achieve lasting peace, Russia must not only cease fire but also recognize Ukraine's right to democratic development and overcome its own corruption.
