Quote: "There is no deep corruption in Ukraine. The war washed away a lot, many [corrupt officials – ed.] fled the country, to be honest, and many voluntarily stayed with the occupiers.

There are reforms, there is an anti-corruption system – it is one of the most powerful ones in Europe. We have many institutions."

Details: In particular, Zelenskyy mentioned the competition for the position of director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, which should end in March. The president said that after that, the anti-corruption system in Ukraine will work "one hundred percent".

He also believes that the post-war society will not forgive the wrongdoers for any of their corrupt actions.
