VOA’s comprehensive reporting on Ukraine’s anti-corruption campaign and interviews with leading American experts led to an intense public debate.
In response to a VOA Ukrainian tweet on how Ukrainians could fight corruption more vigorously, Hudson Institute expert Hannah Thoburn suggested the President fire the General Prosecutor, Viktor Shokin.
On February 16, 2016, the day Shokin tendered his resignation, Thoburn tweeted, “It’s nice to think that we perhaps played a small role in bringing things to a head and finally getting Shokin’s resignation. Bravo VOA!”
