The Cabinet of Ministers submitted a bill to the Rada yesterday to fire Artem Sytnyk, head of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, or NABU. Funded largely by the EU and the US, the bureau is key to Ukraine continuing to receive foreign aid. The Kyiv Post reports anti-corruption activists charge that Sytnyk is to be fired because he angered President Zelenskiy by pursuing a bribery case against the president’s deputy chief of staff, Oleh Tatarov, and for investigating possible embezzlement by the Health Ministry in the purchase of Covid-19 vaccines from China.
