The United States Supports the Ukrainian “Courts” Law

Recently, on Twitter, Ned Price congratulated Ukraine on court reform. In his opinion, such changes will improve the future for all Ukrainians. 

"We welcome the adoption by the Ukrainian parliament of court reform laws with the firm support of the president of Ukraine," the diplomat tweeted. United States officials hope that such reforms will strengthen Ukrainian state institutions and make them more transparent. 

Earlier, the European Union also welcomed the adopted laws in the court process. Thus, the determination of the leadership of Ukraine was marked by the vice president of the European Commission for Interdepartmental Relations and Forecasting Marosh Shefchovych.
