The heads of Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) have publicly raised concerns regarding the proposed draft law No. 12414, which they claim significantly threatens the independence of their agencies. The leaders emphasized that the law’s provisions could potentially hinder the effectiveness of their anti-corruption efforts. Despite these challenges, they are reiterating their call for international partners to continue their comprehensive support for Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russian aggression.
The leaders’ statements come amid escalating tensions in the region, as Ukraine continues to face significant military and economic pressures from Russia. Their insistence on maintaining international support underscores the critical role that foreign assistance plays in sustaining Ukraine’s war effort and its domestic stability. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, as the outcomes could have far-reaching implications for both Ukraine’s governance and its strategic position in the region.
