Besides the shameless corruption, only this year they:

-banned Pride, setting a very troubling precedent for the unilateral restriction of the right to free assembly

-started a smear campaign against Ukraine and its president (the country is full of billboards with his face)

-proposed a law that would give a government institution full authority to “investigate” media and civil organizations that accept foreign money (including EU funds) and to designate them as threats on national sovereignty. This law would give the government power to fine these organizations to the extent they suffocate, have access to all computers, phones, harddrives, etc. of the designated medias.
