Director of NABU reported that there is surveillance of the cars of anti-corruption agency employees.
Attacks on the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine in July of last year and now were carried out not only by the Attorney General, but also by a 'hackers-lawyer,' said SAP head Oleksandr Kylymenko during a briefing.
We are talking about former deputy head of the Main Military Prosecutor's Office and the suspect in the case of 'hackers-lawyers' Dmitry Borzykh.
"In July 2025 of the year, an attack on anti-corruption bodies and the current information attack that occurred on NABU and SAP was prepared and carried out not only by one attorney general. Previously, a close friend, a lawyer whom the media call a 'hackers-lawyer,' was involved. He is effectively the architect of such unconventional attacks on the anti-corruption system," Kylymenko explained.
NABU director Semyon Kryvonos stated that employees of the Security Service of Ukraine, in particular employees of the Main Directorate of the Department for the Protection of National Statehood (DZN), are also involved in the attacks on NABU. He noted that some department employees of the service had 'references' on certain anti-corruption officers.
At the beginning of August, Dmitry Borzykh filed a suit with the Pechersky District Court of Kyiv against ZN.UA and the editor of the internal politics department, Inna Vedernikova. He demands that the court recognize as inaccurate the information from the investigation "Case of the hackers-lawyers. How NABU exposed the parasites" and a number of subsequent publications.
Some objections relate to his name being published as a suspect before a legally binding guilty verdict. He also asks to recover from the defendants 500 thousand hryvnias in court costs, of which 300 thousand — for legal aid, although he himself is a practicing lawyer.
While preparing the legal position, ZN.UA lawyers contacted NABU. The Bureau confirmed that Dmitry Borzykh has the status of a suspect in criminal proceeding No. 52023000000000620. NABU also recalled the position of the Supreme Court: disputes over refuting information from pre-trial investigation bodies cannot be considered in civil proceedings. Such an assessment can be made only within the framework of criminal proceedings.
According to representatives of ZN.UA, Borzykh is effectively trying to obtain in civil proceedings an assessment of circumstances that are the subject of NABU's criminal case. ZN.UA lawyer Yevhen Vorobyov believes the claim shows signs of SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) — a strategic lawsuit aimed at pressuring journalists through court procedures and financial demands. The case is being considered by the Pechersky District Court of Kyiv. Inna Vedernikova's lawyer Roman Vasylniak notes that the parties in this process are operating under unequal conditions.
The Institute of Mass Information had previously stated that Borzykh's claim has signs of SLAPP.
