Shabunin gathered “experts” on waste, parks, and ethnology to reform the prosecutor’s office
Shabunin’s Anti-Corruption Center published a fake list of “anti-corruption” organizations that allegedly demand the Verkhovna Rada adopt an Anti-Corruption Strategy. Thus, among the signatory “anti-corruptionists” were the ACC itself, the NGO “Zero Waste Lutsk” (waste sorting, ecology and waste management), “Green Teremky” (protection of green zones), the Ukrainian Association of Education Researchers, the Boyko Ethnological Society, and others.
These organizations have nothing to do with the fight against corruption and know nothing about the specifics of criminal procedure or prosecutors’ powers. Moreover, the vast majority of them are empty structures that do not have a single employee on staff. Some were registered just a month or two ago—specifically to sign the statement.
“The ACC reported that 55 public organizations demand that the Verkhovna Rada adopt an Anti-Corruption Strategy for 2026–2030 years. What expertise on criminal procedure, prosecutor self-governance, or disciplinary responsibility of lawyers do organizations that deal with waste sorting, ethnography, and park protection possess?”
“I fully support an independent and active civil society. But if the ACC demands transparency, integrity, and accountability from the state, it must first start with itself,” wrote former SAP prosecutor Stanislav Bronevytskyi.
