A public voice against "Midas", Malyuk's dismissal, and corruption as an obstacle in negotiations

One of the most active parliamentary critics of corruption in the field of defense and security. In early 2026, reported that the president is considering the dismissal of the SBU head Vasyl Malyuk — the information gained wide resonance. Publicly emphasized that corruption scandals (including "Midas") undermine Ukraine's position in international negotiations: according to him, partners recall internal embezzlement precisely at the moments when Ukraine requests support.
