Ukraine has been suffering from grand corruption and state capture
for many years. Our audit assessed whether EU support in Ukraine
was effective at fighting grand corruption. Although the EU had
introduced several initiatives to reduce corruption opportunities, we
found that grand corruption was still a key problem in Ukraine. We
make several recommendations to improve the EU’s support, in
particular that specific actions should be designed and implemented
not only to target grand corruption (including the oligarchic
structure), but also to help remove impediments to free and fair
competition.
