Statement by senators on the anti-corruption bodies law
On July 24, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen made a statement regarding law No. 12414, which limits the independence of Ukrainian anti-corruption bodies. They warned that this law could threaten anti-corruption achievements in Ukraine. It was also reported that up to 70 deputies from the 'Servant of the People' faction refuse to support the restoration of the independence of NABU and SAP.
Ukrainian protests against the anti-corruption bodies law have resonated with American senators, who expressed their outrage and support for the struggle of the Ukrainian people for the principles of democracy and transparency.
