“The United States is very concerned about the level of corruption in Ukraine. This is one of the central tasks of the Department of State. We worked on this last year and will work on it again next year to provide the president (Ukraine Vladimir. - RT ) Zelensky with the opportunity to eradicate corruption in his country, ”the head of the Department of State emphasized.
He also noted that Europe understands the risks that corruption in Ukraine can bear.
According to Pompeo, since 2017, the United States annually sent Ukraine assistance in the amount of about $ 400 million to ensure the country's security and defense.
Earlier, the White House explained the freezing of military assistance to Kiev as a lack of support from other states and corruption in Ukraine.
