Zelensky says Ukraine will reform criminal and law enforcement systems, in order to join European Union
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday said he had approved a plan to reform criminal and law enforcement systems, a key element in plans to secure quick membership of the European Union.
The EU sees an end to endemic corruption, upgrades to legislation and improvements to the judiciary as key elements in anchoring Ukraine in Western institutions. The changes, he said, would be part of a new social contract ensuring people felt safe and protected. Membership applications for the EU normally take years to process in order to complete the complicated process of bringing a candidate nation’s laws and regulations into line with rules enforced by the bloc.
