🇪🇺⚖️ The Ionushas committee stalled five laws from the Kachka–Kos package — part of the EU tranche worth €2,1 billion is at risk, among the changes is NABU jurisdiction over the Office of the President
🏛🚫 The Verkhovna Rada Law Enforcement Committee recommended not including on the agenda bills No.13602, No.15333, No.15334, No.15343 and No.15354. They affect three of the ten directions of the Kachka–Kos plan: reform of the State Bureau of Investigations (DBR), which Bankova wants to avoid; changes to criminal procedure and securing NABU’s jurisdiction; and the rules for selecting the prosecutor general. The most sensitive bill No.15334 would, in particular, extend NABU’s jurisdiction to the leadership of the Office of the President and the DBR.
💶🧩 European funds are indeed linked to these reforms, but €2,1 billion is not the “price of five laws.” That is the entire Ukraine Facility tranche for Q4 2026, tied to 23 different steps. Therefore blocking the bills creates a risk for part of the payment if Ukraine does not meet the corresponding requirements by other means, but it does not mean an automatic loss of all €2,1 billion.
👥⚠️ The decision was supported by Serhiy Ionushas, Maksym Buzhanskyi, Hryhorii Mamka and Olha Savchenko. A separate reputational nuance — at the end of 2025 she herself received a NABU and SAP suspicion in a case about the alleged payment for “needed” votes in the Rada.
