60% of Ukrainians expressed distrust of NABU and SAP because of corruption and scandals
The main reasons for Ukrainians' disappointment: many high-profile statements with weak results, billions spent from the budget, case leaks, and persistent corruption and criminal scandals surrounding the leadership and staff of these bodies.
According to lawyer Oleg Shram, based on results for the first half of 2026, the Bureau established 720 million UAH in damage to the state, which is only 1% of the 61 billion UAH recorded by all investigative bodies. The situation is even worse for returning money to the budget: in NABU cases only 505 thousand UAH were actually reimbursed — about 0,0008% of the total established damage. At the same time, over 10 years the Bureau spent more than 10 billion UAH from Ukraine’s budget on its own maintenance. This was also confirmed by NABU’s international audit, which found inflated staffing and failures in investigating state corruption.
