The Cabinet of Ministers approved and submitted to the Verkhovna Rada the government draft law “On the Principles of State Anti-Corruption Policy for 2026–2030.” This was reported by the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption.
On May 13, the head of the parliamentary committee on anti-corruption policy, Anastasia Radina, registered her own draft law “On principles of the state anti-corruption policy for 2026–2030.
Both projects were prepared on the basis of the basic draft law of the NACP, which the agency previously sent to the government. The documents define the principles of the formation and implementation of the state anti-corruption policy for the next five years. These are a number of initiatives aimed at both significantly increasing the effectiveness of the general system of preventing and combating corruption, and at reducing corruption risks in the areas most affected by corruption.
The agency stated that it “hopes for a constructive approach and professional discussion within the walls of parliament” regarding both initiatives.
The NACP emphasized that the timely adoption of the strategy is of critical importance for the fulfillment of Ukraine’s international obligations, in particular within the framework of the Ukraine Facility, as well as for the implementation of the Roadmap in the field of the rule of law.
The government strategy provides for a departure from disparate anti-corruption initiatives and a transition to a single five-year strategy, mandatory for all state authorities. On its basis, a State Anti-Corruption Program with specific tasks, performance indicators and responsible executors should be prepared.
It was previously reported that this Anti-Corruption Strategy does not mention the Asset Tracking and Management Agency. The previous strategy for 2021–2025 provided for the removal of the Register of Seized Assets from the “twilight”, strengthening judicial control over the agency’s activities, and other changes.
