Ukrainian government is trying to pass the law that will destroy my country’s chances at defeating corruption

I want to disseminate this as much as possible, as this needs to be absolutely condemned and stopped. Please do reach the source, and feel free to fact check this – I am not a Russian shill, I am a Ukrainian who is terrified of turning my country into another dictatorship.

Today, Ukraine’s parliament may pass draft law #12414 (only pending the President's signature now) — a bill that would destroy all anti-corruption efforts by placing NABU (National Bank of Ukraine) and SAPO (anti-corruption body) under full control of the Prosecutor General, who is in turn controlled by the President.

If this law passes, the Prosecutor General would gain:
– Access to all NABU investigations
– Power to shut down cases
– Authority to give binding orders to detectives
– Exclusive right to assign prosecutors and sign top-level charges

This effectively turns independent anti-corruption bodies into political tools, reversing reforms built since 2014-2015.

Civil society and anti-graft officials warn: this bill would destroy institutional independence, threaten Ukraine’s EU path, and undermine international support.

There is very little hope this law will not gain legitimacy, but I do not want to let this happen quietly. This will kill my country's chances at true independence and transparency. Please do not let this die.
