Direct speech: “We did not stop (the investigation -ed) because of geopolitics, we do not publish only those materials that are still at the stage of a deeper investigation, establishing all the circumstances.
Advertising:
There is no pressure on us, no obstacles, you can be sure that we maintain our independence.”
Details: Answering a clarifying question, Krivonos noted that the collection of data on NABU detectives can be considered a certain obstacle, but, they say, NABU knows how to deal with it.
Regarding the spread of Telegram of false information and slander on anti-corruption bodies, the director of NABU noted that this does not affect the work of anti-corruption officers either. He added that the organizers of these TG channels are also known, but the investigation of their activities is still the prerogative of the SBU.
What preceded: As “Ukrainian Pravda” wrote with reference to interlocutors familiar with the course of negotiations with the American side in Kyiv, during a meeting between American Minister Daniel Driscoll, President Volodymyr Zelensky, head of the OP Andriy Yermak, and NSDC Secretary Rustem Umyerov, the issue of NABU and SAP investigations was privately raised.
Interlocutors of the UP, who are familiar with the content of the conversation, claim that Zelensky made it clear that he will not be able to “move on” if anti-corruption authorities soon raise suspicions against members of his closest circle, because such steps could jeopardize negotiations with the United States and European partners.
