Good governance of the state and sustainable functioning of the main spheres of society under martial law, as well as ensuring law and order, respect for human rights and freedoms, economic development, preservation of democratic institutions and European integration progress of Ukraine largely depend on the effectiveness of anti-corruption. Thanks to the collective efforts of the anti-corruption ecosystem, civil society institutions, business integrity, and international partners, the state and society are able to ensure resilience to security and corruption threats. In the context of a full-scale war, sectoral reforms continue, the state anti-corruption policy is being improved, anti-corruption strategies and tools are being modernized, the integrity system in the public and private spheres is being developed, and anti-corruption initiatives of non-governmental organizations and international partners are being implemented. All this ensures progress in the fight against corruption in Ukraine.
