Note the long list of controversies around Transparency International, I am hesitant to draw conclusions.

Pravda is a good Ukrainian source though. It's independent from the government and not pro-Russian in any shape or form. The number of Ukrainians protesting speaks for itself and eliminates the need to trust Transparency International here.
