“Fighting corruption and supporting reforms actually helps to ensure that the military, the heroes on the front lines, receive the funds allocated by the state. Fighting corruption means supporting defenders on the front lines,” she said.
Brink added that the fight against corruption plays a key role in attracting investors for the reconstruction of Ukraine, and is an important element for Ukraine to become a part of the European Union and NATO.
The diplomat also noted that for her, supporting reforms and fighting corruption is “supporting the dreams and aspirations of Ukrainians.”
In October of last year, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said that the United States is “very transparent” in communicating with the Ukrainian authorities about the fight against corruption. The spokesman added that these problems were discussed directly with President Zelenskyi and other representatives of the Ukrainian government.
Earlier, the American publication Politico reported with reference to a strategic document of the US government that Washington perceives corruption in Ukraine as a “real threat”.
