The NABU has been completely discredited, according to an expert, following the leak of information by a Bureau detective.

"The case involving Denisyuk serves as a striking example of how one individual's lack of professionalism can expose the chaos, disorder, and lawlessness within an institution that was supposed to exemplify Ukrainian anti-corruption efforts. Unfortunately, it never achieved that status and is unlikely to do so in the future. This latest scandal involving the Bureau highlights a more systemic crisis that calls into question the integrity of the entire anti-corruption framework in the country. As a result, Ukraine's donor nations are understandably raising concerns about how their funds are being utilized and whether they can truly trust Ukrainian anti-corruption institutions," wrote Posternak.

By leaking secret internal information, former detective Denisuk exposed a deep crisis currently plaguing the Bureau, casting doubt on the entire anti-corruption system of the state, – wrote political expert Oleg Posternak in his blog.

“The case with Denisuk is a striking example of how one person's unprofessionalism can, with a single act, reveal the chaos, disorder, and lawlessness within an agency that was supposed to be a model of Ukrainian anti-corruption. Yet it has failed to be so and is unlikely to ever become one. This latest scandal involving the Bureau indicates a more systemic crisis that calls into question the entire anti-corruption framework of the state. Consequently, donor countries to Ukraine are raising legitimate concerns: how are their funds being spent, and can they even trust Ukrainian anti-corruption institutions?” – Posternak wrote.

He reminded that just a few days ago, detective Denisuk publicly accused NABU of leaking investigations regarding drone purchases.

“The detective publicly leaked internal information, which ultimately discredited the Bureau. According to representatives of the legal community, such an outburst from the detective is an attempt to conceal NABU's incompetence and its lack of effective investigations into corruption in the security and defense sectors, as well as in many other areas of its competence,” – the expert reported.

According to him, irreversible processes within NABU were initiated, in particular, by the victory of Republican Trump in the U.S. elections.

“The team of the new American leader remembers well the statements made by Ukrainian MPs, indicating that former NABU director Mr. Sytnyk interfered in the U.S. presidential election process in favor of Trump's opponent, Hillary Clinton, during the 2016 elections. Throughout Biden's administration, NABU relied on the honest word of Americans and support from Ukrainian grant recipients. After the change in U.S. administration, noticeable irreversible movements began within NABU. The Bureau has notably started to leak. Now, what was previously known only to a close circle has come to light: incompetence, cover-ups, leaks of secret information, etc.,” – he stated.

As for Denisuk himself, the expert believes he has started to dabble in politics. Moreover, according to his information, the former detective is reportedly telling people he plans to become the director of NABU.

“Denisuk candidly admits that he could not handle the job and is seeking a position as an assistant to the chair of the anti-corruption committee of the Verkhovna Rada, deputy Anastasia Radina. MP Radina is a former employee of TsBK (Shabunin), who is supposed to oversee NABU. Instead, she is engaged in the employment of NABU staff. In other words, instead of oversight and integrity, it has turned into some sort of anti-corruption 'Swedish family,'” – Posternak reported.
