Thread: What We Know About the NABU Scandal.
Ukrainian Parliament passed Bill №12414 (263-13) on July 22, 2025, threatening NABU & SAPO's independence. The bill is sparking protests. 1. Establishment of NABU

The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) was established on October 14, 2014, following the adoption of the Law “On the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine” by the Verkhovna Rada.

This was driven by demands from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Commission to combat high-level corruption, a key condition for Ukraine’s EU visa liberalization and financial support.

NABU began operations in 2015, designed as an independent body to investigate and expose corruption among senior officials.

Very impressive, yet somehow controversial story: In May 2022, Lt. Colonel Denys Storozhyk of the Border Guard Service defied surrender at Azovstal. Escaping alone, he spent nearly a year behind enemy lines gathering intel. 2/ AZOVSTAL

"I never thought about surrendering from the beginning. I more or less knew the terrain. There was enough data. The closer to the front lines, the more information I had. So I planned to go into the rear."
