"Today's meeting will definitely yield positive results – young people will not be afraid to contact me, if necessary, as an official responsible for anti-corruption activities at the university, and tell about their own suspicions or proven facts. Our task is to verify the information in any legal way, prove guilt and bring the perpetrators to justice. I urge young people to appeal to their own knowledge gained by hard and diligent work from morning till night, rather than relying on solving situations by obtaining illegal benefits or personal acquaintances," – said Commissioner for Anti-Corruption of the National University "Yuri Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnic"
