Political expert Taras Zahorodnii accused NABU of systematic information leaks, citing the discovery of hundreds of profiles of officials and law enforcement officers. He recalled previous leaks from Khristenko and Uhlava.

NABU detectives, who were supposed to fight corruption, found themselves at the epicenter of corruption scandals and accusations of raiding. One striking example is the case against businessman Fedorychev, as an attempt to seize terminals in the port of "Pivdennyi."

Recent scandals surrounding NABU indicate violations by detectives, from high treason and corruption to attempted raiding. This undermines trust in the body both in Ukraine and among international partners.

The first audit of NABU in 10 years revealed systemic problems: formal control, lack of responsibility, inefficiency and the desire for autonomy.

Immediately after the NABU's statement about the disclosure of the scheme of embezzlement of state-owned land, in which the minister of Agricultural Policyappears, deputy Polish Minister of Agriculture Michal Kolodzejczak announced Poland's withdrawal from negotiations with Ukraine.

The NACP in Ukraine will use artificial intelligence to evaluate and verify officials' declarations, focusing on higher-risk declarations, which is different from the previous annual checks of all high-ranking officials.

According to NACP Deputy Head Artem Sytnyk, the NACP expects the most risky declarations of officials to be filed at the end of January, noting the tendency for officials with a higher level of corruption risk to file fewer declarations.

According to Artem Sytnyk, deputy head of the NACP, there has been no surge in filing declarations after the reintroduction of mandatory electronic declaration, but he predicts an increase in the number of risky declarations by January 2024.

Artem Sytnyk, Deputy Head of the NACP, said that previously more than 99% of declarations were not systematically checked due to limited resources, but with the new legislation and approaches, this will change. Now, a significant part of the declarations will be evaluated automatically, which will make the verification more efficient.
