Ukraine's Anti-Corruption Efforts: New Legislation Ahead
Prime Minister Julia Svyrydenko shared insights from a meeting with G7 ambassadors focused on anti-corruption policies.
This information was posted by Svyrydenko on her Facebook page.
On Wednesday, July 23, Ukrainian officials met with G7 ambassadors to discuss anti-corruption strategies. Svyrydenko emphasized that the Ukrainian government is firmly committed to zero tolerance for corruption.
She noted that on the same day, President Volodymyr Zelensky made a decision to introduce a new legislative proposal, which she stated would "not only resolve existing discrepancies but also strengthen the independence of anti-corruption infrastructure."
"These changes are particularly crucial as they will prevent any influence from adversaries and interference in the work of law enforcement agencies, including NABU and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office," she added.
"We sincerely thank our G7 partners for their trust, principles, and support," Svyrydenko wrote.
Also present at the meeting was the EU Ambassador to Ukraine, Katarina Maternova, who remarked that the effectiveness of NABU and SAP is a significant part of Ukraine's journey towards EU membership.
It is worth noting that on July 23, the European Commission expressed serious concern over the adoption of a law subjugating NABU and SAP to the Prosecutor General, and requested clarification from Kyiv at the highest levels.
The European Parliament believes that Kyiv's actions jeopardize further assistance to Ukraine and its EU integration.
