Ukraine has launched a major crackdown on corruption ahead of a summit with the European Union (EU) in Kyiv this week.
Under the anti-corruption drive, Ukraine is investigating current and former top officials in the defence and energy ministries as well as the tax office, reported The Washington Post.
On Wednesday (1 February), the Ukrainian authorities also raided the house of an influential billionaire, Ihor Kolomoisky. Former interior minister Arsen Avakov’s home was also searched.
The raids come as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced his government was “preparing new reforms” that will make the country “more human, transparent and effective”, reported BBC.
Let’s take a closer look at the recent anti-graft raids and Ukraine’s long fight against corruption.

LOL, you really do post like a 13-year-old nerd, you even added new lies to that childish post.
Simple honest postings seem impossible for you, just troll stuff.
A frog going to fight?
WTF is wrong with you?
Froggie will stay behind his computer in the safety of his house. You’ll never see a frog from Queerbec get off his ass to do anything.
SO WHAT?
Does that justify Russia starting a war with them by INVADING that sovereign nation?
So Russia is SAVING the Ukrainian people by KILLING them?
Who’s investigating the chief crook Zelensky?
Ukraine is obviously greatly improving in defeating corruption the farther it gets away from the Russian corruption culture.
The pressure on Ukraine and the assistance they are and will be receiving, and the new national identity and unity coming out of this war, bodes well for improvements in Ukraine as they westernize, corruption will probably be much less in 10 years.
Russia, on the other hand, will continue with no dramatic change in the corruption score and the gap will grow larger when compared to Ukraine.
The Ukraine started this war by shelling Russian citizens in the Donbass, starting on 2014. Educate yourself and act like an American.
