Ambassadors of the G7 countries in Ukraine said that legislation that would compromise the independence of anti-corruption institutions in Ukraine threatens the country’s reform path and the support of the international community.
“The United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the EU continue our support for Ukraine’s independent anticorruption institutions, and their commitment to fighting corruption at the highest levels. Our commitment is rooted in the demands expressed by the Ukrainian people during the Revolution of Dignity and every day since. Legislation that would compromise the independence of these institutions threatens Ukraine’s reform trajectory, and the support of the international community,” the G7 ambassadors in Ukraine noted.
The Committee on Law Enforcement recommended the Verkhovna Rada to adopt in the first reading a draft law “On Amending Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Increasing the Effectiveness of Combating Corruption in Separate Law Enforcement and Other Government Agencies.”
In particular, it is proposed to supplement the law on NABU with a provision that one of the grounds for dismissing a NABU director (Artem Sytnyk, from the moment of NABU was founded) is the entry into force a court decision on bringing him to administrative responsibility for an offense related to corruption.
