Ukraine has asked Poland to conduct a legal analysis of the laws passed by Ukraine to fight corruption, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk said after a meeting with Chairman of Poland's Central Anticorruption Bureau Paweł Wojtunik in Kyiv on Thursday.

"I've asked the Bureau's Chairman for assistance in legislation matters… Poland has already passed that stage, and we'd like to involve it in due diligence of all legal acts passed by Ukraine to fight corruption," Yatseniuk said.

Wojtunik in turn said that Poland is ready to assist in this issue.

"We're ready for direct and close cooperation," he added.

According to Yatseniuk, a competition began on April 22 to select the heads of the National Agency for Counteracting and Preventing Corruption, which will collect declarations of state employees' incomes and analyze whether they correspond to actual spending.
