The Anti-Corruption Action Center, together with partners, presented a report on Ukraine’s progress toward the EU: key reforms remain stalled
Key reforms remain stalled.
This is the main conclusion of the civil society report on Ukraine’s progress toward the European Union.
The report was prepared by the Anti-Corruption Action Center, Automaidan, the DEJURE Foundation, the MEZHA Anti-Corruption Center, the Institute of Mass Information, the Media Initiative for Human Rights, the NGO "100% Life" and independent expert Viktoriya Khalanchuk.
The report evaluates the state of reforms in the areas of anti-corruption, justice, law enforcement, fundamental rights, and media freedom.
At the same time, it notes that reforms are proceeding extremely slowly, in particular due to a lack of political will. A significant portion of the necessary decisions has remained at the level of working groups and discussions.
🔹 At the same time, according to the report’s authors, pressure on NABU and SAP has not ceased. In particular, this refers to criminal cases against NABU detectives and the risk of further attempts to influence the leadership of anti-corruption institutions through competitions.
🔹 The so-called “Lozovyi amendments” have still not been repealed, and short statutes of limitations in high-level corruption cases help senior officials avoid accountability. Issues of independent forensic examination for NABU and autonomous wiretapping have also not been resolved.
🔹 The report’s authors separately emphasize the politicization of the Prosecutor General’s Office and the absence of a full reform of the SBI and the SBU. Unreformed law enforcement bodies can be used to exert pressure on anti-corruption agencies, civil society, and investigative journalists.
