Overview

• On July 24 President Zelensky introduced legislation to restore full procedural powers and independence for the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP).
• NABU announced that the proposed revisions fully reinstate its investigative authority and legal safeguards against external influence.
• The move reverses a July 22 law that had placed NABU and SAP under the Prosecutor General’s Office, a change that sparked unprecedented wartime protests in Kyiv and other cities.
• European Union officials, alongside leaders from the UK and Germany, have offered expertise on the draft as part of conditions tied to continued financial support and Ukraine’s EU accession path.
• Parliamentary debate is scheduled this week as Kyiv seeks to uphold anti-corruption autonomy while addressing security concerns during the war.
