Melinda Haring: Corruption, not Russian tanks, greatest threat to success of Ukraine
Anti-corruption activists theatrically stage a news conference at Parliament on June 17 to urge lawmakers to keep the newly formed Anti-Corruption Bureau independent and free of presidential control.
Corruption threatens to derail Ukraine's progress, American and Ukrainians officials agreed at the Atlantic Council's Wrocław Global Forum in Wrocław, Poland on June 13. "There is no issue that is a greater threat to Ukraine's long-term success today than institutionalized corruption," said Geoffrey R. Pyatt, US Ambassador to Ukraine. "It's a bigger threat than Russian tanks."
