An anti-corruption court in Ukraine will be formed in 2018 and will be able to start work in 2019, Iryna Gerashchenko, the Verkhovna Rada's First Deputy Chairperson and Ukraine's envoy to the Minsk Tripartite Contact Group's humanitarian subgroup, has said.

"I have no doubt the anti-corruption court will be created next year and will be able to start functioning in 2019," she told Voice of America during her visit to the United States.

Bills on anti-corruption and military courts will be soon registered in parliament and are most likely to pass their first reading in January by the end of the current session, she added.
