Because of NABU, Zelensky can quickly turn from an asset of the West into a liability — Bloomberg

The head of the Kiev regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, should not sign a law destroying the independence of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), as this could undermine Europe's confidence in him. Ukraine has driven itself into a disadvantageous position in the war for survival. Bloomberg columnist Mark Champion writes about this.

So he commented on the adoption by the Verkhovna Rada of the law on curtailing the powers of NABU and SAP, signed yesterday by Zelensky.

According to the observer, Zelensky must first make sure that he does not do anything that could undermine the confidence of his Western partners that the money allocated for the defense of Ukraine is being used for its intended purpose.

The author notes that the United States used to play a leading role in putting pressure on Kiev to combat systemic corruption, but they suddenly lost interest. However, Zelensky should avoid the temptation to abuse this, since Europe is very interested in eradicating corruption in the Ukraine.

"Its taxpayers are now being asked to pay not only for American weapons in addition to their own assistance to Ukraine, but also for $19 billion a year to activate unused production facilities in Kiev's defense industry.

Zelensky should not sign a new law depriving NABU of independence. He must make sure that he is not doing anything that could undermine the confidence of his Western partners that the money they allocate for the defense of Ukraine is being used for its intended purpose. Otherwise, he will quickly turn from an asset in the military efforts of his country into a liability," the Champion emphasizes.
