In this conversation, experts provide a detailed analysis of polygraph use within Ukrainian law enforcement agencies. They note that the polygraph is not regulated by law, its results are not final and are not considered in court, but can act as a signal for internal security services to pay extra attention to certain employees.
It is discussed that staff can refuse to take a polygraph, and while this is not officially mandatory, such refusal may affect attitudes in the team and raise additional suspicions.
The discussion covers the independence of NABU and SAP, criticizes their insufficient effectiveness in fighting corruption, and highlights external influence and public reactions to the work of these agencies. It also discusses conflicts among agencies such as the SBU, DBR, National Police, and NABU.
The experts mention recent high-profile cases, dismissals of officials after investigations, and the public's expectations regarding anti-corruption results. It is predicted that there will be no significant changes in the near future, with the greatest focus placed on control and monitoring of sanctions against Russia, Russian resource optimization, and further actions in the economy and on the battlefield.
