KYIV – The European Union’s foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, urged Ukraine to double down on anti-graft efforts and push ahead with reforms that include meeting policy commitments for the Association Agreement in her second visit in that capacity on March 12.
During separate joint briefings with President Petro Poroshenko and Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman, she emphasized giving existing graft-fighting institutions the independence and “enough powers and resources to investigate, prosecute and eventually ensure the conviction of those responsible for corruption.”
