European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has praised Ukraine’s “amazing” progress in implementing reforms to fight corruption, preserve minority rights and ensure an independent judiciary. Ukraine is working on a package of reforms “ranging from the independence of the judiciary to anti-corruption, from minority rights to media freedom”, von der Leyen said during an awards ceremony in New York. “I must say it is amazing to see how fast and determined Ukraine is implementing these reforms despite the war. They are defending their country and reforming,” she said but did not specifically address Ukraine’s bid to join the EU or specify any particular reform measures she was referring to. #eu #nato #un #ukraine #poland #hungary #sweden
