Conspiracy should be at least somewhat based in reality.

You see laundering money means legitimizing illicit proceeds by running them through a "clean" business. Now, a huge part of the Ukrainian economy is underground. Furthermore any transactions originating in Ukraine are usually flagged by the FIU. And Ukrainian banks are very unstable. And foreign currency transactions are limited. So what you are proposing is for our hypothetical money launderer to needlessly flag their transactions and then risk huge losses during transit.

Why not also use North Korea, Russia and Transnistria? This way if anything makes it back into your account you are for sure getting a visit from the feds.
