U.S. special agent in the capital: why does NABU need help?
The U.S. State Department has sent a new chargé d’affaires to Kyiv, Paul Houston — a special agent of the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) who led threat investigations and internal State Department investigations. In diplomatic circles this is an atypical appointment. ❗️But the appointment makes sense: the Anti-Corruption Bureau has finally started playing politics, forgetting its core purpose.
Instead of forcefully breaking corruption schemes, #НАБУ for years it hid behind the status of an “independent body,” while in practice either ignoring the total embezzlement of the budget or trying to subordinate the schemes to its own interests. While detectives chose “convenient” suspects, corruption in government bodies, customs, and the judiciary reached national-security proportions.
📌The arrival of a security official of this level is a clear signal. The U.S. sees that the anti-corruption system is firing blanks. Our questions to NABU leadership remain unchanged:
• Why are reports of systemic crimes by high-ranking officials gathering dust in offices for months, with ERDR entries opened only after court rulings?
• When will the bureau start dismantling schemes that siphon funds from the budget, rather than merely redistributing influence among oligarchic groups?
• Where are the real convictions and returned state funds, not endless PR reports?
We are not merely watching this performative process; we are systematically pressuring the law-enforcement system: we file criminal complaints, record every instance of detectives’ inaction, and force NABU through the courts to enter information into the ERDR and start investigations into top officials.
🤷♂️Well, if Paul Houston’s appointment returns the bureau to real law-enforcement work — that’s a plus. If not — we will continue exposing both the corrupt schemes themselves and the inaction of those who were supposed to stop them.
