Ukrainian National Anti-corruption Office (NABU) and peculiar Anti-corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP) saythat they have eliminated the "large corruption plot". It's about supplies to the army of kamikaze drones and systems disrupting the enemy's pilotless signal. The military bought them at advanced prices, which has already become standard in this war.
New affair in Ukraine. The detainees included an incumbent MP, 2 local officials and an unspecified number of National defender officers. Their names have not been released. However, 4 people have already been arrested.
According to investigative findings, those active in the process received bribes, up to a 3rd of the value of the contracts. Among the detainees are the incumbent MP, 2 local officials and an "unspecified number" of National defender officers. Their names have not been released. It is known that 4 of them have already been arrested.
Interestingly, the scandal came to light 2 days after the Ukrainian Parliament's decision to reconstruct independency to anti-corruption services. This was under the force of public opinion and EU partners. The steps taken were related to talks about Ukrainian membership in the European Union. The NABU and SAP were set up as 1 of the preliminary steps on Ukraine's integration with the EU.
Now, under the force of the public and the European Commission, Zelenski withdrew from this decision and filed his own bill restoring the independency of anti-corruption services. This time, however, it is much slower. And I guess that's what this is all about, due to the fact that before the fresh law comes into force, the emotions will go away, the criticism will be disgraced, the controversial matters will be dropped, and the services will be cleared of the most zealous corruption hunters.
OUR COMMENTS: A day without scandal in Ukraine is simply a day lost.
