Ukraine confirmed experienced investigator Oleksandr Klymenko as the head of its Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office on Thursday, responding to a European Union request as it seeks EU membership.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on the Telegram messaging app that Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin's first important decision since being voted into office on Wednesday had been to sign off on Klymenko's appointment.
"The fight against corruption is a priority for our state, as our investment attractiveness and business freedom depend on its success," Andriy Yermak, the head of Zelenskiy's presidential office, wrote on Telegram.
