Ukraine on Tuesday approved the new head of a state watchdog responsible for crafting anti-corruption policy, officials said. Fighting graft is a top priority for Ukraine as it seeks membership in the European Union, and authorities have stepped up their crackdown during the war with Russia.
Viktor Pavluschyk, a former investigator, will serve a four-year term heading the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) after winning an internationally supervised recruitment competition. NACP formulates Ukraine's anti-corruption agenda and monitors public servants for illicit gains, working closely with Kyiv's anti-graft law enforcement agencies.
