INTRO:
The potential for abuse and infringement of civil rights is huge and is a
risk for any country at war. On top of that are the tens of thousands
of war crimes being committed by the invaders. My guest today is an
expert on Reform, Transparency, Governance, Civil Society and
Corruption. We will be talking about how Ukraine is progress on these
fronts, to defend individual rights and liberty even in wartime, and we
will loom at the importance of striving for Modernity in Ukrainian
culture and institutions.

It’s her mission to strengthen democratic oversight over defence
