The taskforce was launched by RUSI’s Centre for Finance and Security and the Center for Financial Integrity, and convened representatives from the public and private sectors in Ukraine, as well as international experts, to discuss the current state of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in Ukraine and international experience and recommendations. This report summarises the main findings of the discussions.

Key takeaways on why PPPs are critical in Ukraine’s financial crime landscape:

1. Efficient use of resources: PPPs with financial institutions and fintech can boost state’s resources and fight financial crime effectively.
2. Timely detection of emerging threats: with the rise of virtual assets, integrating private sector blockchain analytics can facilitate real-time detection of illicit crypto transactions and other threats.
3. Strategic information sharing: PPPs can enhance information exchange and provide actionable intelligence crucial for Ukraine’s upcoming MONEYVAL evaluation.
