Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers has approved the draft agreement with the European Union (EU) to finance the EU Anti-Corruption Initiative in Ukraine.

An Interfax-Ukraine correspondent has reported that the decision was made at a government meeting on Wednesday.

"The draft resolution proposes to approve the draft agreement and authorize the deputy prime minister for European and Euro-Atlantic integration to sign it," First Deputy Economic Development and Trade Minister Maksym Nefyodov said.

He said that the agreement is to be signed on November 24 at the Ukraine-EU Summit.

As reported, the EU and Denmark are providing EUR 16 million to support the EU Anti-Corruption Initiative in Ukraine, including EUR 15 million from the EU and EUR 1 million from Denmark.
