A point for society, but only a pass for the government: Ukraine gains 1 point in the Corruption Perceptions Index 2025
In the Corruption Perceptions Index 2025 (CPI), Ukraine gained one point. We've landed again at 36 points—exactly where we were in 2023. I'll be frank: there are few grounds for loud optimism. And looking back at the events of last year, it is extremely difficult to find any solid foundation for illusions about a rapid leap forward. And yet, over the past year the country has gone through a tectonic shift.
How Russian propaganda distorts the issue of corruption in Ukraine - and what to do about it: Andrii Borovyk
This week, Ukraine’s entire political, governmental and civic elite will gather in Rome for the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC). There, they will discuss Ukraine’s biggest challenges, and, naturally, corruption will not be overlooked. This is hardly surprising. Corruption remains a pressing issue at any time, but especially during wartime. It’s also clear why the media consistently cover corruption: public exposure remains a crucial tool in the fight against it.
A slipping CPI score signals Ukraine’s anti-corruption efforts are stagnating
Another year has passed, and we are once again analyzing Ukraine’s position in the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI). This year, Ukraine lost one point, now with 35 out of 100 possible points, ranking 105th out of 180 countries. While the loss of a single point falls within the margin of error, even this minimal change carries significance. This drop may signal stagnation in the fight against corruption, despite active legislative and governmental actions implemented last year.

Opinion: How corrupt is public procurement in Ukraine?
A quick Google search on procurement in Ukraine renders pages upon pages of corruption-related headlines. “National Anti-Corruption busts Defense Ministry food procurement scheme;” “Kyiv accuses military brass of procurement graft;” “Ukraine opens arms procurement corruption investigation.” Ukraine introduced Prozorro, an electronic procurement system implemented in 2016, as part of broader reforms to increase transparency and combat corruption.

Opinion: The REPO Act hasn’t won the war for Russian assets Original
U.S. President Joe Biden signed the Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunity for Ukrainians (REPO) Act on April 24. Largely overshadowed in the media by the groundbreaking approval of $61 billion in aid for Ukraine that same day, the REPO Act is equally crucial. However, the REPO Act has not yet won the war for Russian assets. The REPO Act allows the Biden administration to confiscate Russian sovereign assets that are subject to U.S. jurisdiction to support Ukraine.

Anti-corruption is a critical condition of Ukraine’s recovery
As Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine continues to destroy lives, livelihoods, and infrastructure in the country, plans are being made for Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction. It is likely to cost over a trillion dollars. When that amount of money is involved, it is a given in any country that without sufficient anti-corruption defenses, a significant share risks being siphoned off rather than being used for citizens’ essential needs and sustainable recovery.
100 days of anti-corruption during the war
On February 24, we opened the door and took a step into a new life: some of us felt numb, others, on the contrary, adjusted to war reality quickly. The previous difficult experience of revolutions and wars was of advantage. Some businesses have been forced to reorganize or shut down enterprises, people migrate and emigrate, while state institutions set up activities in new circumstances.
Andrii Borovyk: How to solve Ukraine's constitutional crisis
On Oct. 27, the Constitutional Court of Ukraine effectively blew up the foundations of the anti-corruption reforms put in place since the 2014 revolution that removed Viktor Yanukovych from power. Thanks to a decision that has sparked protests outside the court, it is no longer illegal for public officials to lie in their declarations of financial interests and assets. The declarations will no longer be independently verified by the National Agency on Corruption Prevention.
