The author, for the first time since the full-scale war began, turns to domestic politics, focusing on a critical moment for democracy in Ukraine. He argues that, following the adoption of draft law No. 12414 by parliament, the independence of main anti-corruption bodies—NABU and SAPO—would be eliminated as they become subordinate to the Prosecutor General.
The law was passed with broad support from various parliamentary factions, with many MPs allegedly acting under pressure from the leadership. The author criticizes the legislation, describing it as a return to autocratic practices and a major threat to parliamentary democracy.
He emphasizes that this step moves Ukraine away from its European aspirations, as the creation of independent anti-corruption authorities was a core demand of both the Revolution of Dignity and Western partners. The heads of NABU and SAPO are calling on the President to veto the law. The final decision now rests with the President, and the public is urged to express opposition to its signing.
