NEWS ITEM: President Petro Poroshenko asked visitors of Yalta European Strategy annual meeting in Kyiv on Sept. 15 to raise their hands if their countries had a special anti-corruption court. His point was that no major Western countries had anti-corruption courts, and thus Ukraine can do without one as well. “The truth is that in our nation, every court is an anti-corruption court,” replied former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who was present at the meeting.
