Determination in fighting corruption is essential for any EU candidate country. Recent developments in #Ukraine underline the need for independent institutions & a strong track-record on investigations & judgments, incl. high-level cases. This is key for progress on its EU path.

We welcome the readiness by Russia & the US to adhere to the #NewSTART limits for a year after expiry. More nuclear weapons won’t make anyone safer – neither the US, nor Russia nor the rest of the world. Let us use this time to get to deeper cuts through a new agreement.
