National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office

According to САП: In the first six months of 2026, top-priority investigations related to defense, energy, and high-ranking officials were singled out in the first portion of a newly disclosed NABU and SAP report. The agencies presented these cases as emblematic of their recent work. Public reporting of this kind is an important signal for international observers following Ukraine's anti-corruption reform efforts.

The publication details what the agencies have achieved. It stresses that neither rank nor connections can shield anyone when state money is stolen or strategic facilities are abused. The briefing where these findings were laid out can be viewed on YouTube, and additional video materials showcasing NABU and SAP's operations are also available.

The report showcases how state bodies are tackling graft in Ukraine, with particular attention to sensitive areas such as defense and energy.
