The corresponding signal from the European Union has indeed been received, the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, former Deputy Prime Minister for European Affairs Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze, confirmed to the publication.
"Financial assistance through The EU will be frozen if the situation with the anti—corruption authorities is not resolved," the EC letter says, according to her.
They stressed that we are talking "about the entire next payment, and not just part of it."
At the same time The EC noted that it "does not see Russian influence" in anti-corruption bodies and considers them a reason for repression.

This was stated in his telegram channel by the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, after a conversation with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.
Ukraine also continues to carry out the necessary reforms to receive financial assistance under the Ukraine Facility mechanism, he noted. According to Zelensky, he has already signed the laws on ARMA reform and factoring, and "Ursula noted progress in implementing the relevant indicators."
