The reforms list, published by Ukrainian media earlier, reflects the West’s growing pressure on Ukraine to ensure accountability and change in state apparatus to secure further support.

The document is a working version of the list submitted for "discussion and feedback", the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

"This list is not a condition for future military assistance. Reforms are needed for Ukraine’s European integration," they added.

The list, first published by Ukrainska Pravda, a news media outlet, includes a slew of reforms—from fighting corruption to structural economic changes—which have already been voiced by Kyiv’s partners.

The White House official confirmed that the list spells out reforms for the three-, six-, and 18-month period, relating to the boards of state-owned enterprises, anti-corruption agencies, the judiciary, and defence enterprises.

A government source told LIGA.net that the document "contains nothing new" and is a "summary" of what has been said before.
