Ukrainian voters stated that corruption is one of three
biggest problems in Ukraine. The greatest threat, in their
opinion, is grand political corruption, according to more than
90% of Ukrainians. *
Ukrainians lay the greatest responsibility for fighting against corruption upon the President (63%) and the Verkhovna Rada (42%). 80% are convinced that the main reason of corruption is lack of proper punishment for it. *

There are no doubts that the list of above-mentioned problems
is not full. However, absence of clear position among
candidates regarding them indicate about misunderstanding of
key challenges in the sphere of fighting against corruption.
Problem:
Complete
loss
of public confidence in the leadership of the Specialized
Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office.
Questions:
How do you ensure dismissal of the head of the SAPO and two
his deputies? How do you ensure transparency and
effectiveness of the selection of new leadership?
Problem:
Failure of management of the National Agency on
Corruption Prevention to ensure fulfillment of
institution's functions.
Questions:
How do you ensure full restart of this state authority? How
do you ensure absence of political influence on this
process?
Problem:
Permanent attacks of the political elite on the National
Anti-Corruption Bureau.
Questions:
How do you ensure institutional strengthening of the NABU?
How do you protect it from constant attempts by the
political elite to destroy it?
Problem:
Transformation of the part of the Security Service of
Ukraine (SBU) into the tool and the provider of
corruption.
Questions:
How do you narrow powers of the Special Service and make
them correspond with the NATO standards? How do you restrict
its interference into businesses? For instance, will the
main department of the SBU on fighting against corruption be
dissolved?
