Poroshenko calls for speeding up judicial reform

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has stated he supports accelerating the judicial reform.

"Improving the investment climate in Ukraine is impossible without the creation of non-corrupt fair trial. Because the lion's share of European business [in Ukraine] is unfair trial. I am confident we should immediately develop bills that must accompany the judicial reform, including the law on fair trial," Poroshenko said at a meeting of the National Reforms Council in Kyiv.
