US Department of State praises implementation of e-declaration system in Ukraine

“We commend Ukraine on the successful implementation of the e-declaration system, which was a ground-breaking step forward in promoting transparency in governance, while also meeting a requirement for the International Monetary Fund’s support package,” the statement reads. At the same time, this transparency “sparks other questions,” which is peculiar to a healthy democracy. “It is important that the Ukrainian government continue to investigate and prosecute officials who leverage their positions for financial gain,” said the US Department of State.
