KYIV. Aug 16 (Interfax-Ukraine) - A non-governmental organization fighting corruption Transparency International Ukraine (TI Ukraine) is launching an awareness campaign against tolerance for corruption.

"This is our third campaign, which is called "Corruption must be 'labeled'" [the word has two meanings in Ukrainian language: 'noticed'/'flagged']. It conveys two meanings," Head of Transparency International Communications Department Olha Tymchenko said at a press conference in Interfax-Ukraine agency on Tuesday.

"The first meaning is that it is impossible for society to have double values: on the one hand, we reveal corrupt officials, on the other hand, we envy for elite lifestyle, expensive things that can only be bought by means of corruption. The second meaning of this campaign is that corruption needs to be labeled - it should be punished. This campaign is also against impunity, which, unfortunately, exists in Ukraine now," Tymchenko said.

According to Tymchenko, more than 600 corresponding images will be displayed on billboards and city-lights in Ukrainian cities across the country as part of the campaign, as well as commercials on Lux FM radio, 24 Radio, Kiss FM, Radio Rocks, Relax, Melody and others.

"We will also create anti-corruption comics to be disseminated among young people," Tymchenko said.
