I spoke with President of the European Commission Ursula @vonderleyen. We discussed many issues: Ukraine’s European integration, further strengthening of sanctions against Russia, and the functioning of our anti-corruption infrastructure. We talked about the bill that guarantees the independence and effectiveness of Ukraine’s anti-corruption bodies. I thanked the European Commission for the provided expertise. We share the same vision: it is important that the bill is adopted without delay, as early as next week. I spelled out that Ukraine continues to implement the necessary reforms to receive financial assistance under the Ukraine Facility mechanism. Today, I signed laws on the reform of the National Agency of Ukraine for Finding, Tracing and Management of Assets Derived from Corruption and Other Crimes (ARMA) and on factoring. Ursula acknowledged the progress in fulfilling the relevant indicators. I thanked her for the adoption of the EU’s 18th sanctions package against Russia, especially for the lowering of the price cap on Russian oil. Ukraine continues synchronization with the European sanctions. All 18 packages are in force in Ukraine. We also discussed the steps needed to open the first negotiation cluster on our EU membership. We will work on this as quickly as possible.(Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський)
