MOSCOW, July 22. /TASS/. Residents of the city of Rivne have joined the protests against the scandalous law that effectively eliminates the independence of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP). This was reported by the publication "Obshchestvennoye".

Earlier, residents of Dnipro (formerly Dnipropetrovsk), Kyiv, Lviv, Odessa, Poltava and Ternopil took part in the rallies. In the capital, the protesters also demanded the resignation of the head of Volodymyr Zelensky's office, Andriy Yermak, and expressed dissatisfaction with the dominance of this body in the life of the country.

On July 22, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a law by 263 votes that effectively eliminates the independence of NABU and SAP. The law has already been signed by the speaker of parliament, Ruslan Stefanchuk. A number of Ukrainian deputies reported that the law has already been signed by Volodymyr Zelensky, but there is no confirming data on the Rada website.

According to the adopted law, the Prosecutor General of Ukraine becomes the head of SAP prosecutors, which practically transfers the anti-corruption prosecutor's office to his subordination and influences the cases conducted by NABU. In addition, the law lifts the ban on transferring cases from NABU to other agencies, and the Prosecutor General will now be able to take over NABU proceedings and transfer them to other prosecutors. As noted by Ukrainian media, the adopted law will have a key impact on NABU, as well as on the work of the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption, which deals with the issue of monitoring declarations.

Kindly explain why Zelensky came to our country and campaigned for Harris, insulted our president and vice president candidates, and then went to PA to campaign for the Democrat in the close Senate election. I think you’re faking your support of Trump. I bet my firstborn you won’t respond. All you Ukies are silent about this.
