Before the Euro Parliament vote, Josep Borrell the Commission’s de facto foreign minister, warned: “Despite notable progress, widespread corruption continues to hamper Ukraine’s reform process. Its key institutions must have strong and independent leadership and the chance to do their work free of political, economic or other interference.” The speech, delivered by Dombrovskis, concluded: “We urge all reform-oriented political factions to come together and give a clear signal of Ukraine’s determination to make its reform path irreversible.”
