Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has said that he is planning to inform the Ukrainian and world community about corruption in Ukraine.
"One big problem today is that we’re not fully achieving the goal of informing Ukrainian society and our partners in the world. And we will pay enough attention to this problem so that freedom of speech really prevails in these issues, and our foreign partners and the Ukrainian people know ‘their heroes,’ who robbed the country for many years and destroyed, in particular, the democratic principles of its development," he said at a joint press conference with Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite in Vilnius on Thursday.
Yanukovych said that respective litigation was currently being conducted not only in Ukraine, but also in other countries.
As reported, on Oct. 14, the law firms Trout Cacheris PLLC and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP and the investigative firm Kroll Inc. published the results of their investigation into the activities of the government led by former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.
Their report says that the investigation revealed evidence of the misuse of state funds and apparent fraud involving the highest levels of the previous administration, specific ministries, and private corporations.
