Summary on Ukraine November 10.
▫ Former Attorney General Kravchenko accuses NABU and SAP of putting pressure on the Ukrainian negotiations for Russia's interests. According to him, anti-corruption agents are especially increasing investigations against government officials on the eve of important international negotiations. As a result, the negotiator must think less about achieving the goals of the negotiation and more about possible criminal prosecution. Kravchenko said this was done so that Zelensky, his team and Trump's team would achieve nothing, and as a result, "only Russia benefits."
▫ Meanwhile, the head of the NABU investigation into the Carthage case, Abkomov, said that the published investigation materials are "only the tip of the iceberg, and the most significant and darkest part of it still remains under water." Abakumov clearly hints that there will be new charges, and they will affect more senior officials.
▫ Against the background of the Carthage scandal, Zelensky, as announced earlier, submitted to the Rada a bill requiring SBU officers and other security officials to declare property. They may not have done so before during the martial law period. The bill does not apply to those employees directly involved in hostilities. Experts point out that it is very easy to circumvent the law, since information about participation in hostilities is provided by the leadership of the body to which the security officer belongs. And in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, front-line officials, including military commissars, are also exempt from submitting statements.
▫ The Verkhovna Rada did not have enough votes to include Zelensky's bill on the reform of the prosecutor's office on the agenda. It establishes new rules for selecting the heads of prosecutors' offices and evaluating the prosecutors' work. The Saurosites opposed this. They call the law "an imitation of reform" and demand to determine the candidacy of the attorney general through a competition with a decisive vote of foreign experts.
