The EU will also help support Ukraine in its "European path" and reconstruction efforts, according to the report.Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Monday accused the EU of turning a blind eye to Ukrainian corruption while supplying the country with weapons.

19:47 GMT 26.07.2022 (Updated: 20:56 GMT 19.10.2022) WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The Ukrainian government’s sovereignty and democratic institutions are threatened by internal corruption in addition to the Russian special military operation, US State Department spokesman Ned Price said on Tuesday.
"Beyond the external threat that Ukraine faces from Russia, Ukraine, like many other governments around the world, continues to face another threat to its long-term success as a sovereign, independent, democratic and prosperous country, and that’s corruption," Price said during a press briefing.
The threat posed by corruption can be "corrosive" to democracy and sovereignty, Price added.
The United States will support sustained efforts in Ukraine to increase transparency, democratic institutions, anti-corruption infrastructure and the rule of law, Price also said.
