Fighting corruption is vital for Ukraine's effective recovery – U.S. Ambassador

The fight against corruption is crucial for the country's future recovery. Investors want to see Ukraine as a partner with a strong democracy and the rule of law. This was emphasized by the United States Ambassador to Ukraine, Bridget Brink, during a meeting with the Director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, Semen Kryvonos.

"After the start of the full-scale invasion, we have significantly improved our results, which proves our effectiveness, but the number of criminal cases puts a heavy burden on NABU," said the Director.

He also mentioned ways to enhance the team's efficiency, such as expanding the staff, establishing a forensic institution, and implementing autonomous wiretapping.

Semen Kryvonos and Bridget Brink agreed that the successful development of the country is impossible without overcoming corruption.

"Alongside the battle on the battlefield, the fight against corruption is also essential for the country's future. Investors want to see Ukraine as a partner with a strong democracy and the rule of law," the Ambassador noted.

Finally, the Director expressed gratitude to Bridget Brink for the unwavering support of the country's anti-corruption efforts.
