World's interest in Ukraine falling, necessary to step up reforms, fight against corruption to maintain it - Pinchuk

Ukraine has not fully used international attention to the country a year and a year and a half ago, it is necessary to step up reforms and fight against corruption to save the world's support, without which it will be difficult to achieve success, businessman Victor Pinchuk has stated.

"We cannot be successful without this attention, without this interest, without understanding that the world will know that Ukraine is very important, because we need their political support, their finances, their investments," he told reporters on the sidelines of the Ukrainian lunch, organized by his charitable foundation in Davos (Switzerland).

According to Pinchuk, the issues of Syria, ISIL, refugees now worry the world more than Ukraine.

"Therefore we must prove that we are on the radar, that they can deal with us. Our inner struggle, as I say, a battle for the water tower, should not interfere with the solving of the major problems: that they can deal with us, we can negotiate, there are the leaders with whom they can work," the businessman said.

He believes that Ukraine's partners won't make compromises with "the old bad habits" without the accelerating of reforms and fight against corruption.
