⚡️Who is rewriting the European Commission's reports? Lawyer Shram found discrepancies of up to 86% in NABU and SAP statistics
The European Commission praises Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies for their effectiveness. But if you compare the numbers in the EC reports for 2025 and 2026, there are huge discrepancies.
The statistics for 2023 are particularly striking:
⭕️Suspicions — 257 in the 2025 report versus 35 in the 2026 report.
⭕️Indictments — 100 versus 30.
⭕️Convictions — 44 versus 12.
And for 2024 the numbers, by contrast, increased: indictments rose to 243 instead of 113, and convictions to 69 instead of 49.
Even more interesting is the trend in suspicions. According to the 2025 report, their number fell by 10% in 2024 compared to 2023. But in the 2026 report for the same period it already shows an increase of 560%.
Shram emphasizes: the indicators and data sources are the same, but there are no explanations for such discrepancies.
This raises the question: which figures does the European Commission consider correct, and on what basis does it assess the effectiveness of NABU, SAP, and VAKS?
