The EU Advisory
Mission for Civilian Security Sector Reform Ukraine (EUAM Ukraine) should be a
driver of reforms on the country, EU Civilian Operations Commander and Director
of the EU Civilian Planning and Conduct Capability Kenneth Deane has said.
"The reform program would focus on strategic
issues," he told reporters in Brussels before his visit to Kyiv scheduled
for March 18-20.
He said that the main task of the mission is provision
of best practices and advises to implement reforms in Ukraine, first of all, in
the security area, including the National Guard of Ukraine and the Border
Service.
Deane said that one of the directions to work with is
fighting corruption.
"Corruption for us is any steps minimizing rule
of law in Ukraine," the European diplomat said.
He said that the Ukrainian government itself should
settle the issues of the relations with oligarchs.
The EUAM Ukraine was deployed in Ukraine on December
1, 2014. The mission consists of 170 members, including 100 foreign advisors
and 70 Ukrainians.
