Secretary Antony J. Blinken at a Meeting with Civil Society Representatives

May 15, 2024

SECRETARY BLINKEN: Well, I’m very, very pleased to just have an opportunity to talk to some remarkable leaders from civil society. And just as extraordinarily brave Ukrainians are fighting on the front lines now against Russian aggression, so too we have courageous people who are themselves taking action to put a spotlight on corruption, to make sure that Ukraine develops the strongest possible democracy – a democracy that reflects the will of its citizens of course, a democracy that attracts investment, all of which is an imperative on making sure that the fight against corruption continues at home just as the fight against Russia’s aggression continues on the front lines. So I’m eager to hear from them what they’re seeing, experiencing, and learning from their incredible efforts.
