Zelensky’s MPs believe that the bills giving NABU the right to investigate the actions of the Office of the President’s leadership and the State Bureau of Investigation have “lost relevance.” The same goes for the SBI reform, the introduction of a transparent competition for the prosecutor general, and the repeal of Lozovyi’s amendments.
Thus, today, 19 August, the Verkhovna Rada’s Law Enforcement Committee rejected 5 bills important for Ukraine’s European integration:
🔹 No. 15343 — on introducing a competition for the office of the prosecutor general;
🔹 No. 15334 — which would have allowed NABU to investigate the activities of the leadership of the Office of the President and the leadership of the SBI and would have given the head of SAP the right to independently submit an extradition request;
🔹 No. 15354 — stops the tolling of statutes of limitations in corruption cases after the indictment is sent to court, and also in the event the defendant is mobilized;
🔹 No. 15333 — contains effective tools to counter artificial delays in court proceedings, in fact cancels the “Lozovyi amendments,” which our partners demand of Ukraine;
🔹 No. 13602 — on the reboot of the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) and a competition for its head with the decisive vote of independent international experts.
Those who voted for the committee’s decision included, in particular, Serhii Ionushas — committee chair from Servant of the People, Maksym Buzhanskyi (Servant of the People), Hryhorii Mamka (former OPZZh), and also MP Olga Savchenko, who in December 2025 received suspicion from NABU and SAP.
All these bills are part of the EU’s requirements.
Thus, Zelensky’s deputies have taken the first step toward failing the EU’s key demands and toward leaving the SBI dependent on the Office of the President for years, the prosecutor general remaining a hand‑picked figure, top corruption defendants continuing to be able to delay proceedings for years without hindrance, and the “Lozovyi amendments” continuing to protect corrupt officials.
With this decision, the deputies once again showed — unlike the people of Ukraine — that they do not want the flourishing accession of our country to the EU.
