There in Ukraine occur such bad things as corruption at every level of state authority, politicians think only about their portfolios and powers. They concern themselves mostly in looting and plundering the state treasury using their privileges of parliaments as a cover. I understand that this process is inevitable, but how much time will it take for Ukraine to become truly democratic nation like other countries in Western Europe and USA?

Unfortunately, these new nations run into the same problems as every other nation . Man is a weak and imperfect entity, and when left on his own devices will enrich and hoard and grab and ignore the rest of his fellowman.
This is why in the legends of the olden days, there was such an age old quest for good men of noble characters.
"Let go of the gold" has been hammered into the psyche of the young ones even in the movies (Indiana Jones for example, Legend of King Arthur)

Now, it will take time, but through trial and error, young nations will learn. How long will it take? Your guess is as good as mine. A great leader will propel it faster along the way.

Probably never, and I only say "never" because you asked when it will be "like other countries in Western Europe and USA...".

The Ukraine will find its own definition of democracy that will be unlike those other countries, only because it holds a radically different history than those other countries. In fact, it's difficult to even compare Western Europe democracies to that of the USA, because they tend to hold more socialist values. I'm not saying one is better than the other, but they are different.

Democracy, after all, only means that the government is chosen and operated by "the people." That of course is never a guarantee of success.

That depends on the people of Ukraine.... legitimate governments exist only with the consent of the governed.

maybe not very long and maybe never.

ukraine has lots of natural resources and great farmland that can become the breadbasket of europe.

but just look at corruption in africa to understand that natural resouces alone will not ensure any kind of long term success.
