In brief
The measure won 247 votes and aligns Ukrainian legislation with an international anti-bribery convention. Joining the convention is linked to Ukraine's bid for OECD membership.
Ukraine's parliament has passed law No. 15056 to combat bribery of foreign public officials, RBC-Ukraine reported, citing a parliamentary statement. The measure aligns national legislation with the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions.
According to RBC-Ukraine, joining the convention opens opportunities for international cooperation in corruption investigations. Its report did not specify the voting date or dates for signing the law and bringing it into force.
