Sun Jun 26, 2016 11:33 am
The new party will be based on the Democratic Alliance Party (DemAlians) and will be financed by small and medium-sized businesses and private donors, Demalians leader Vasyl Hatsko said on Hromadske Radio (Public Radio), Interfax-Ukrayina reports June 26.
“We are after a party independent of tycoons,” Hatsko said.
The new party will unite centrists and right centrists. Liberals and mild conservatives can also join. There won’t be leftists in the party,” Hatsko said.
Reform-minded lawmaker Serhi Leshchenko confirmed June 25 on 112 Kanal that the formation of the new party is under way. Many young people in Ukraine are worried about how to steer the country out of the present corrupt oligarchic quagmire.
The new party will be a rightist liberal force that opts for a free market, privatization, human rights and so on, Leshchenko said.

Ombudsman for business names major cause of total corruption in Ukraine
Sun Jun 26, 2016 2:32 pm
One year in office, the ombudsman for business, ex-economy minister of Lithuania Algirdas Shemeta says the State Fiscal Service complied with 70% of his recommendations on how to curb corruption while the prosecution only with 18%, Shemeta said, speaking on ZIK TV June 25.
In the past year, his office succeeded in retrieving UAH3.5 bn ($140 mn) in incorrectly administered taxes. However, state agencies in Ukraine often ignore the appeals of the ombudsman, Shemeta says.
The prosecution is not reformed yet, and prosecutors behave rather like businessmen, trading in the criminal law to their favor, Shemeta says.
He was stunned by the level of corruption in Ukraine. Corruption is not a Ukrainian invention but in most countries it does not influence the domestic situation, Algirdas Shemeta says.

As what I thought. No viruses in the water, but the water quality's still crap. Always buy bottled water as I did and my wife's doing now.
HERE'S how bad the city water is. My sister-in-law was boiling water in a huge kettle on fire wood, outside. I asked my wife yesterday why. She said to water the garden and fruit trees. THAT'S how bad the water is.
Among priorities for the government, other than its roads, the water SHOULD have a high priority throughout Ukraine. They deserve better. Only cost 30 hryvnias for a 5 gallon jug of water, but for many, that's a lot bi-weekly, and that includes delivery.
