It only went down a bit between 2013 and 2018. Between 2018 and 2021, they made effectively no progress.

Yeah Ukraine is extremely corrupt, even Belarus has much higher GDP per capita even though it's just a Russian satellite state. If Ukraine ever wants to join the west, this is the very first thing they have to tackle, yet they haven't done much so far. Here in Poland lots of people who would never pass our driving test simply go to Ukraine to buy themselves a license because of how ridiculously easy it is there.
This wikipedia article sums it all up quite well.

Honestly I don't see that very often. Except for some comments on a Reddit thread some time ago about California breaking yet another nominal GDP record taking this as proof that the state is a fantastic place to live even though GDP doesn't mean shit in this context.

The ISw has made some bad predictions throughout this year (Bakhmut most importantly) but overall they've been a fantastic place to stay up to date
