She underscored the importance of fighting corruption, praising Ukraine\u2019s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for enacting measures to ensure transparency in how the assistance is spent.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. official also visited a renovated school that had its windows blown out by the blast wave from a Russian missile that landed nearby in March.
