14 October 2026 marks exactly 12 years since the Verkhovna Rada adopted the Law of Ukraine “On the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine.”
The date isn’t really a jubilee. But people want to celebrate.
However, doing so in Ukraine — under air raid alerts, explosions, and possible power outages — is clearly not very comfortable. It will also be difficult later to justify a large and ostentatious event during wartime.
That is why, according to sources in law enforcement agencies, on 19 October a trip is planned outside Ukraine, to the territory of one of the EU countries, for the heads of anti-corruption bodies, their trusted persons, deputies, and a number of public activists.
Officially, the purpose of the trip is to participate in a formal seminar.
The real purpose of the trip is to celebrate the anniversary of NABU’s creation with representatives from European Union countries.
The event is being financed by the EU Anti-Corruption Initiative in Ukraine - EUACI.
The sweet life of an anti-corruption activist.
