At the ACAMS Las Vegas Assembly, Justine Walker sat down with Oksana Ihnatenko of RUSI, and recipient of the 2025 ACAMS Rising Professional of the Year Award. Their discussion includes Ihnatenko’s research and work to build public-private partnerships in Ukraine, how Ukrainians view current sanctions policy, and how Ukraine’s reconstruction can be funded.
Ihnatenko is a researcher for the Supervising and Monitoring Ukraine’s Reconstruction Funds (SMURF) project at the Centre for Finance and Security at RUSI, based in Kyiv. Her research focuses on Ukraine's adherence to the standards of the Financial Action Task Force, fighting financial crime, anti-money laundering efforts and issues surrounding reconstruction.
