The widespread corruption in Ukraine frightens French businessmen far more than military actions in the country. This was stated by the chairman of the group of friendship with Nezalezhnaya in the lower house of the French parliament Valery Fort-Muntean, writes "European Pravda" on Tuesday, April 10. "I would like to stress once again: in Ukraine, a French investor is frightened by corruption, not war. And for all the explanations about the potential of Ukraine, I hear the answer:.

"Corruption". Therefore, if you cope with corruption, then, despite the war, business will come here without problems, "the citizen of the Fifth Republic. According to her, the problem of Ukrainian bribery is not only in bribes. "Corruption is also a raider, it's a risk of losing your business. After raiding is the result of corruption in the judicial system, "said Fort-Muntean. At the same time she stressed that 160 French enterprises are already working in the country, but what they are forced to face is unimaginable. "I talked with young people who invested in agriculture, and they calmly say:" Here, I was stolen 10 hectares.

But I hired guys. They stood around the field with machine guns, and we were able to harvest. You see, they talk about it everyday! ", Laments the Frenchwoman. She believes that the judiciary does not work in Ukraine. At the end of March, the French ambassador in Kiev, Isabelle Dumont, complained that the French companies are facing bribery in the Non-Genre with "they are very concerned about this, they are telling both the embassy and the business ombudsman". "This is a problem that we are forced to face daily, together, incidentally, with representatives of the Ukrainian authorities," Dumont cited TSN. The ambassador said that companies from France were victims of raider attacks. The diplomat pointed out, when in the trial "the judge takes the side of these raiders, you understand the consequences in terms of trust from foreign investors to Ukraine". Also today, Kiev was reminded of debts. The leading economist of the World Bank, the head of WB programs in Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine Farooq Khan said that in 2018 and 2019, in order to pay off the budget deficit and fulfill the debt obligations, the Ukrainian authorities need to raise $ 18 billion. According to his calculations, about $ 8 billion can be financed from external sources, and the rest - in the domestic market, the agency "Ukrinform". And to get this money from outside, Kiev still needs to "finish off" extremely unpopular reforms in the country.
