A unique aspect of the Corruption Perceptions Index is that most of its studies consider dynamic changes by focusing on data from the past two years. Consequently, Ukraine’s results should be analyzed not only for 2024 but also for 2023.
Over the past two years, despite the full-scale war, Ukraine has taken systematic steps to combat corruption effectively—a progress that is clearly reflected in the CPI study results. Most of these steps resulted from Ukraine's commitments to European integration and the receipt of international financial assistance. However, during this period, many negative events and decisions partially offset the impact of the anti-corruption measures taken by the authorities.
Below is a list of positive and negative events that may have influenced Ukraine's CPI 2024 results. Events that occurred in the fall of 2024 were most likely not included in the latest index, yet they undoubtedly affect the overall perception of corruption in Ukraine at the time the study was published.
