Boryspil International Airport, Ukraine’s largest airport, received the Primary Award certificate from the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS), the largest professional procurement and supply management organization in the world.
Boryspil became the first state-owned enterprise in the aviation industry in Ukraine to receive the Primary Award certification for its procurement system in compliance with global CIPS standards.
Boryspil International Airport is a participant in the pilot project of Ukraine’s infrastructure ministry on risk assessment and audit of the corruption prevention system.
The airport implemented a compliance system to meet international business standards, updated the airport’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, developed new procurement strategies and policies, and implemented anti-corruption measures.
During certification from CIPS, Boryspil Airport implemented all the necessary changes and improvements in the company’s procurement processes, as well as updated the procurement strategy for 2023-2026, taking into account the Institute’s certification requirements.
The certification program was developed by CIPS as the largest professional organization in the world, which sets benchmarks for the procurement and supply chains at all levels. It cooperates with leading global organizations such as the European CentralBank, UBS, Bank of England, BAE Systems Air, American Express, and Xerox Corporation. It certified Abu Dhabi Airports, London Luton Airport, Manchester Airports Group, and others.
Amendments to Ukraine’s enforcement proceedings legislation, initiated by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, have entered into force. Among other measures, the reform provides for the automated lifting of attachments on bank accounts immediately after debts in enforcement proceedings have been fully settled. The main practical benefit for citizens is the complete elimination of the need to contact an enforcement officer in person and wait for paper decisions once the debt has been paid.

In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now. The EU is trying to work out how to spread responsibility for its own security across society as a whole, rather than leaving it to institutions alone. It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.
Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end. This was emphasized by Rinat Akhmetov, president of FC Shakhtar, during a working visit to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where he met with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.
