Stepping into the twentieth second day of the full-scale war caused by the Russian military invasion, we are finding ourselves in a new reality. While bombs are falling and people are forced to flee, the anti-corruption institutions in the country are adjusting to new challenges and courageously continuing the fight for transparency and integrity in Ukraine. Below you can take a closer look at some of the most recent (and impressive) activities by the anti-corruption institutions.
