Volodymyr Zelenskyy: I believe that Switzerland will help Ukraine in preventing corruption

The main priority of changes in Ukraine is the fight against corruption, and Switzerland has always been an example of success in this matter, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said after talks with President of the Swiss Confederation Simonetta Sommaruga in Kyiv.

"I would like to note the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Office of the Prosecutor General, NABU and the Swiss party. I believe that Switzerland will help us in preventing corruption and facilitate the real return of stolen assets to Ukraine," the President said during a conversation with the media following talks with his Swiss counterpart.

The President of the Swiss Confederation stressed the importance of building an independent legal system.

"We are ready to accompany Ukraine on this difficult path," Simonetta Sommaruga said.

The President of Switzerland noted that a powerful, solid legal system is the key to implementing many plans.
