Ukraine War: Ambassadors of Ukraine and Moldova

H.E. Ms Larysa Gerasko:

There is one more issue, that of corruption and the struggle and fight against same. Ukraine is committed to a zero tolerance corruption policy. The Ukrainian Government takes all reports of alleged corruption cases extremely seriously, including the recent ones at the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine and the Ministry of Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories. As members know, in response to those reports, President Zelenskyy immediately took action, resulting in the removal of high-ranking officials from their positions in both central and local governmental authorities. Despite the ongoing war, the President's solution to fight against corruption is intended to bring stability to Ukraine. All these anti-corruption steps are supported by 100% of the population.

If I missed something I ask members to remind me.
