President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with the heads of law enforcement and anti-corruption agencies against the backdrop of public outcry caused by the adoption of Law No. 12414. Following the meeting, the preparation of a unified action plan was announced, which aims to strengthen state institutions and respond to society’s demand for justice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The head of state announced<\/a> this on his Telegram channel.<\/p>\n

According to the president, the meeting was attended by all key officials \u2014 heads of anti-corruption structures, law enforcement agencies, and Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko.<\/p>\n

“This was an important, frank and meaningful conversation. We all understand that protecting Ukraine requires a strong and effective justice system. The only enemy is the Russian occupiers, and the strength of the state should be felt through the work of its institutions,” Zelenskyy emphasized.<\/p>\n

The President emphasized that criminal proceedings should not drag on for years, and individuals who act against the interests of the country should not remain unpunished or feel unsafe.<\/p>\n

“We all see and hear what society expects – it wants justice, transparency, and effectiveness. At the meeting, we discussed specific steps: legislative, administrative, and those related to coordination between agencies,” he added.<\/p>\n

Another meeting is scheduled for next week, during which work on a joint plan will continue. According to previous agreements, a single document aimed at strengthening the state and responding to citizens’ requests should be formed within two weeks.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, on July 22, the Verkhovna Rada voted for a bill that significantly limits the powers of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP)<\/a> , effectively subordinating their activities to the Prosecutor General.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, the heads of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office appealed to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy not to sign the bill<\/a> , which, in their opinion, destroys the independence of these bodies.<\/p>\n

However, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a high-profile law that significantly changes the powers of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP), strengthening control by the Prosecutor General.<\/a><\/p>\n

As reported, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office have published an official statement regarding draft law No. 12414, which is being prepared for the second reading in the Verkhovna Rada. The anti-corruption bodies warn that the latest amendments to the document pose a serious threat to the independence of their activities.<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition, mass protests were held in Kyiv, Lviv, Dnipro, Odessa, Lutsk, and Ivano-Frankivsk against draft law No. 12414, which activists say threatens the independence of the anti-corruption institutions NABU and SAPO. Protesters are demanding that the president immediately veto the document, which could significantly change the balance of Ukraine’s anti-corruption system.<\/a><\/p>\n

By the way, the Verkhovna Rada plans to prepare a submission to the Constitutional Court of Ukraine to repeal Law No. 12414,<\/a> which limits the independence of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP).<\/p>\n
