How Trump can get tough on Ukraine corruption
Ukraine's Western allies may finally have run out of patience with Kiev's unwillingness to fight the country's endemic corruption. The United States, the European Union and the International Monetary Fund have all criticized the recent undermining of an independent corruption investigation by Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office – an organization
itself accused
of rampant fraud.
“Recent events – including the disruption of a high-level corruption investigation, the arrest of officials from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), and the seizure of sensitive NABU files – raise concerns about Ukraine’s commitment to fighting corruption,” the
U.S. State Department
said in a statement on Dec. 4. “These actions undermine public trust and risk eroding international support for Ukraine.” The
EU
and the
IMF
expressed similar concerns.
