In our September 29 issue, when we commented in this space about Ukraine being on the front pages of our newspapers, little did we know that the situation would evolve as it has.

Now, as the impeachment inquiry – looking into whether President Donald Trump used the power of his office to pressure Ukraine into discrediting a political rival – has progressed, we see Ukraine not only being depicted as hopelessly corrupt, despite all the evidence that major progress has been made on battling corruption, but also being falsely accused of having intervened in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
