The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has passed the text of a memorandum of cooperation to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NAB), and Kyiv is currently analyzing it, NAB Director Artem Sytnyk has said.

"As concerns cooperation with the U.S., we have communicated with FBI officials who have handed us the text of a memorandum of cooperation. We are analyzing the document. We already have their representative, his workstation, and the necessary equipment here to convert criminal cases into an electronic format. That is, the agreements reached in the U.S. have started being implemented," Sytnyk said in an interview published in the Dzerkalo Tyzhnia. Ukraine weekly publication.

Asked whether U.S. financial intelligence agencies are sharing relevant information with the NAB, Sytnyk said, "In any case, we are talking about cooperation with the FBI. If we ask them about something, they might engage financial intelligence as well."
