Biden shares with Kyiv what the Kremlin fears most

Russia fears a prosperous and democratic Ukraine.
U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden said this in a video address to the participants of the International Support for Ukraine Conference, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
"The Kremlin's pivotal fear is a prosperous, democratic, independent and reform-oriented Ukraine that cannot be bribed or intimidated. This is something that you should continue to build. Your friends and relatives living in Russia have to see what your country can achieve by conducting real reforms," he said.
According to Biden, reforms for Ukraine are not only the issue of good governance but also "the issue of self-defense."
However, Vice President expressed his support for establishing anti-corruption bureau, adopting new laws aimed at fighting corruption, reorganization of regulatory authorities, and reforming Ukraine's pension system and police.
