Bosnia lost at home to Slovakia and Luxembourg, and finished 5th (below Iceland too) in the Group.
They wouldn’t make it even in the League C path.
It’s the best draw Ukraine could have.

We would need to beat Georgia away to make the Euro. Not a walk in the park but if we can’t do it probably we don’t belong to the Euro.
Ukraine has to be smiling with this draw, so does Wales who have 2 home matches.
UEFA doesn’t care about corruption in national federations as long as the politicians stay away from them.
They don’t care enough to intervene and clean the mess of each individual country (assuming they aren’t part of the corruption themselves in the first place). In multiple countries you will see people asking for UEFA to intervene against corrupt FAs, it almost never happens, because they don’t think it’s their problem.
The silent message they send is “you re on your own, and no visible government involvement because we re not setting this precedent”.
USA and Mexico being in Pot 1 over Uruguay gives the potential for a super hard group (if Uruguay ends up with Brazil or Argentina) and an open one (Mexico, Peru, Paraguay, Canada for example).
Peru is not Pot 2 material either by the way, right now they are weaker than the 3 CONMEBOL teams in Pot 3.
The tournament draw will definitely be interesting!
