22.07.2025Anti-Corruption Autonomy Abolished
Ukrainian media's editorial focus on July 22nd shifted dramatically towards the independence of anti-corruption institutions. Early reports covered intensified fighting, including alleged Russian incursions in Pokrovsk and strikes on Sumy, alongside continued debate on Ukraine’s international standing, particularly regarding US relations under a potential Trump presidency. However, from mid-morning, headlines converged on parliamentary actions to limit or abolish the independence of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP). This development, which included a committee vote and a Rada decision, intensified throughout the day. By evening, the story culminated with President Zelensky signing the controversial law. This move sparked immediate public protests across major Ukrainian cities and drew international concern, including engagement with the G7. Simultaneously, reports noted the loss of a Ukrainian Mirage-2000 fighter jet and persistent fierce fighting on the Pokrovsk front.
