KYIV, Dec 11 – First Deputy Speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament Iryna Gerashchenko said she believes lawmakers will adopt an anti-corruption court bill in the first reading by February 2018.

The bill is a key measure demanded by international donors for Ukraine to accelerate fight against corruption.

"I am sure that before the end of this Rada session (before the end of January 2018) we will adopt, at least in its first reading, a bill on the anti-corruption court and on the military court. The latter is just as important, taking into consideration the war and soldiers are operating in exceptional circumstances, and if there are violations, they must be adjudicated by a special court, taking into account the actual situation," Gerashchenko said on Facebook on Monday.
