    lol, and I was gonna say, “Let me guess, and the answer is privatization?”

    The confidential version of the “Integrated Country Strategy” is about three times as long and contains many more details about U.S. objectives in Ukraine, from privatizing its banks to helping more schools teach English to encouraging its military to adopt NATO protocols. Many goals are designed to reduce the corruption that bedevils the country.

    also a wonderful way to say “anything bad in Ukraine is not the US’s fault, we did our best” just like every other US-caused crime against humanity.
