The government of Ukraine has repeatedly failed to meet the minimum standards for the prevention of trafficking, sex trafficking and exploitation of minors for years, as set by our Department of State. Pedo Pete's administration gives them the perpetual soft landing of "they're really really trying, tho" which is also the same thing they say about the rampant corruption that permeates all levels of Ukrainian government and has since the country was created.
Even when Ukraine actually arrests government officials for trafficking, they can't or won't convict them, securing zero convictions in 2023 after multiple arrests, per the USDOS.
Yet uber #neocons like Lick "Bush-Cheney" Neckey have no problem in pumping hundreds of billions of dollars into one of the most corrupt countries in the world, and Lick has no problem with Pedo Pete setting up BlackRock et. al. to roll in and take even more advantage of one of the biggest grifts in world history.
