“Why a Biden presidency is very good news for Ukraine,”

“Why a Biden presidency is very good news for Ukraine,” headlines an analysis by Anders Åslund, the Washington-based economist who has watched Ukraine closely over the last 30 years. “Few countries are likely to benefit more from a Joe Biden presidency than Ukraine,” Åslund writes for the Atlantic Council. “As vice president, Biden fought hard for the rule of law in Ukraine. He is bound to do so all the more forcefully as president. This is bad news for the many different forces in today’s Ukraine who are seeking to reverse anti-corruption initiatives or block judicial reform. For example, the 11 Ukrainian Constitutional Court judges implicated in attempts to derail anti-corruption efforts had better reconsider.”
