From Newsweek, and you know they generally soft-pedal anything controversial to the corrupt.
International bodies such as the U.S. Department of State and the Council of Europe's Group of Experts on Action Against Trafficking in Human Beings (GRETA) have also criticized Ukraine's government for not devoting enough attention to the issue. For instance, for the third straight year, Ukraine has been placed on the State Department's Tier 2 Watch List, avoiding an otherwise mandatory downgrade to Tier 3 (the worst ranking) simply because it has a written anti-trafficking action plan. The State Department notes with concern the decreasing number of prosecutions of traffickers, as well as "poor coordination at the national level" between the 15 ministries responsible for anti-trafficking work.
