Correspondent Tetyana Vysotska made the statement on Espreso TV."Europeans have already moved past the initial shock after President Zelenskyy signed the scandalous bill 12414. Before this, there was an unspoken moratorium in Europe on criticizing Zelenskyy or Ukraine in general, because of the war. No matter what was happening inside the country, the EU reacted with tolerance. But this bill lifted that moratorium instantly. Now, European officials are starting to speak up about issues they had kept quiet on. For example, when there was a competition to appoint the head of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine but the appointment didn’t happen, the EU stayed silent. Yesterday, a European Commission spokesperson personally told me they are now openly demanding the appointment of the Bureau head," Vysotska said.According to the journalist, after the bill, the EU started criticizing Kyiv for other previously ignored issues."More criticism is on the way for Ukraine. Especially on corruption, which wasn’t being commented on before either. In reality, the law that strips independence from NABU and SAPO opened the floodgates for EU criticism and closing them won’t be easy. Some politicians are openly saying they’re disappointed in Ukraine," she added.On July 23, Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the preparation of a presidential bill concerning the functioning of the law enforcement system.“I will submit to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine a bill that will serve as a response and strengthen the law enforcement system. There will be no Russian influence or interference in the work of law enforcement agencies, and—very importantly—all provisions ensuring the independence of anti-corruption institutions will be included. I also expect proposals from our group of heads of law enforcement and anti-corruption bodies, and from the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, regarding the necessary legal provisions,” Zelenskyy stated.“This will be a presidential bill, and we will implement it as part of our national transformation strategy,” he added.However, on the morning of July 24, it became known that members of parliament had drafted and submitted their own bill to the Verkhovna Rada aimed at restoring the independence of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office.The Verkhovna Rada will consider the presidential bill on strengthening the powers of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office on July 31.
