“Fighting corruption is a key condition for joining the EU,” he stressed and added that the Commission will continue monitoring developments, according to DW.

Commission spokesperson Paula Pinho echoed that view, noting that the ongoing investigations clearly show that Ukraine’s institutions “exist to fight corruption.”

The remarks follow the launch of a sweeping investigation by Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies into procurement abuses at Energoatom, the state-run nuclear energy giant with nearly $5 billion in annual revenue.

The operation has already triggered suspensions in the Cabinet of Ministers and the dissolution of the company’s Supervisory Board.

Previously, it was reported that during an investigation by Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU), Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko announced that the government is preparing a “comprehensive decision” concerning all state-owned companies, including those in the energy sector.
