“It would be suicidal for any politician not to implement these reforms”: what the Western press wrote about Washington’s “letter of reforms” for Ukraine.

Last week, both the Ukrainian and Western media space was stirred by the so-called reform letter for Ukraine from the White House. It was unexpected that until confirmation from Washington, doubts arose about the authenticity of the document. Because it was initially reported that the letter contained “conditions for military assistance,” but these rumors were later dispelled by officials from both countries.

The main thing indicated in the document is a list of reforms for the rapid integration of Ukraine into the European Union. All changes are listed according to the priority of their application: 0-3 months, 3-6 months, one year and 18 months. In particular, they relate to the functioning of the Supervisory Boards of State Enterprises, anti-corruption bodies (SAP, NABU, NAPC), the High Council of Justice and the judicial branch of government in general.

Changes in the work of the Ministry of Defense and all law enforcement agencies of Ukraine were also mentioned as priorities for the year. How the Western press responded to such proposals from the White House, read the story.

Spanish edition El País believes that the conditions announced by Washington for Kyiv are clearer than those previously presented by the European Commission.

In its letter to the Ukrainian president, Washington calls for more oversight in the distribution of these funds, especially those earmarked for the country’s future reconstruction. Like the EU, the US is also calling for a more pluralistic oversight body for state-owned enterprises and tougher rules to stop the end of the monopoly of the oligarchs, who gained huge wealth after the collapse of Soviet Union,” the article said.

Journalists The New York Times noted in their column that the reform letter comes at a time when the US Congress is debating whether to approve an additional $25 billion in aid to Ukraine.

The publication notes that Kyiv’s NATO allies fear that anti-corruption agencies could be sidelined in wartime conditions, at a time when corruption in Ukraine continues to be reported.

Amid the news of the analytics reform letter Wall Street Journal mentioned the situation with the purchase of eggs and jackets by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, and also narrated the fight against corruption in our country, while adding a dose of optimism in the context of the World Bank’s statement that “Ukraine has one of most complete” asset declaration system in the world, and which was suspended as a result of public disclosure of information, resumed its work as a result of the petitions presented to the President.

At the end of the article, the authors quote Daria Kalenyuk, director of the Kiev Anti-Corruption Center, focusing on the fact that Ukraine became a candidate for EU membership in June 2022 and, with seven recent requirements for membership, five are associated. in fighting corruption or strengthening rights to the rule of law. And that Ukrainians are in favor of joining the EU, therefore “it would be suicidal for any politician not to implement these reforms.”

American intelligence organization stratfor in his material he admits that it is difficult for Ukraine to implement reforms because “entrenched interests in powerful institutions are endangered.” However, the expressed expectations of the US will significantly increase the pressure on Kyiv to implement reforms in the coming months, as some political forces will use the lack of concrete reforms to justify less support for in Ukraine. In particular, one example is the position of radical Republicans in the House of Representatives of Congress, the organization added.
