U.S. advisors to act as guarantors of de-politicized Ukrainian prosecution – Poroshenko
High-ranking U.S. advisors, who are due to arrive in Ukraine in one month's time, will act as guarantors of the depoliticizing of prosecution [of crimes] in Ukraine, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said.
"I stress: with [Yuriy] Lutsenko's arrival, the process of de-politicization is also taking place within the Prosecutor General's Office," the president said at a press conference in Kyiv on Friday.
He said he was happy when amid signing the $1 billion loan guarantees agreement, U.S. Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt stressed that the U.S. is very content with the de-politicization of the Prosecutor General's Office and the level of cooperation.
"Several high-ranking U.S. advisors, who are arriving at the end of June, will act as guarantors of these processes," the president said.
The newly-created General Inspectorate in the Prosecutor General's Office will ensure an efficient fight against corruption within its ranks, he said. "Its precondition was the signing of the loan guarantees," Poroshenko said.
