Zelensky signed the law on the background of protests that took place in the evening of July 22 in Kiev, Dnipro, Odessa, Lviv and other cities in the evening. People demanded from the President to veto law # 12414.

According to the People’s Deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak, the deputies who opposed the law will try to submit a submission to the Constitutional Court to challenge it. To do this, it is necessary to collect signatures of 45 parliamentarians. Zheleznyak stressed that during the hearing in the Council of Bill No. 12414 many articles of the regulation were violated.

• On July 22, the Verkhovna Rada supported the Law No. 12414. He was mainly supported by the people’s deputies from the “servant of the people”, “POZH” and “Motherland”. Among other things, it allows the Prosecutor General to take cases to NABU and entrust the investigation to other bodies, as well as to close cases on suspicion of top official. Human rights activists called not to support this document because it believed that it was a threat to NABU independence.
• On July 22, NABU and SAP stated that the Verkhovna Rada was preparing to “liquidate” them.
