Ukrainian Raids Spark Concern Over Kyiv’s Anti-Graft Efforts

Sweeping raids at Ukraine’s independent, anti-corruption agency sparked concern among Kyiv’s allies over the government’s dedication to longstanding efforts to strengthen the rule of law.

An unnamed employee of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, known as NABU, was detained in Kyiv under suspicion of spying for Russia, the Prosecutor General’s Office said Monday in a statement. He is accused of sending data on the identities of Ukrainian law enforcement officers to Russia’s intelligence services, it said.
