Ukraine acts to push through anti-corruption laws before election

The proposed laws - presented by Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk ahead of an Oct. 26 parliamentary election - will oblige high-level officials in government, the judiciary and law-enforcement to declare their own and their families' assets and financial transactions.
