U.S. Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Lindsey Graham have publicly endorsed Ukraine’s new anti-corruption legislation, which was recently passed by the Ukrainian parliament. The law aims to redefine the structure and authority of the National Anti-corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO), two critical institutions in Ukraine’s fight against systemic corruption. Shaheen and Graham emphasized that these reforms represent a significant step toward strengthening Ukraine’s democracy and ensuring transparency in its governance.
The lawmakers’ statement comes amid ongoing U.S. support for Ukraine’s anti-corruption efforts, which have been a key focus of Washington’s foreign policy in recent years. The reforms are seen as part of a broader strategy to combat corruption and build trust in Ukraine’s institutions, which is essential for its long-term stability and integration into European and international systems. Both Shaheen and Graham have consistently advocated for measures that promote accountability and good governance in Ukraine, aligning with the U.S. government’s foreign policy priorities.
