It is crucial to win the future for Ukraine and to create conditions for Ukrainians to return home. The West is ready to help rebuild Ukraine under the condition of maximum fight against corruption.
Vice Prime Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov, US Ambassador Bridget Brink and Deputy Head of the EU Delegation in Ukraine Remi Duflot spoke at the conference “Victory for the Future of Ukraine: Transparency and Efficiency”. Oleksandr Kubrakov mentioned the Ministry of Reconstruction’s anti-corruption actions, including projects to assess the anti-corruption framework, professional development of anti-corruption officials and risk management. An integrity support group was created at the Ministry with the EU support.
US Ambassador Bridget Brink emphasized the importance of winning not only the war, but also the future. She mentioned examples of successful reforms, including the use of modern technologies and mechanisms for higher transparency and funds for reconstruction to be directly received by citizens.
Deputy EU Ambassador Remi Duflot emphasized the importance of reconstruction on a corruption-free basis. Considerable funds have been provided and the International Reconstruction Platform created, but important role of private investors in reconstruction must not be forgotten. For this purpose, effective government institutions must be built. This especially applies to sustainable justice and tax reforms etc.
