During the first half of 2025, the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) conducted 102 measures to monitor and control compliance with legislation in the field of ethical conduct, prevention and resolution of conflicts of interest.
Criminal proceedings based on NACP materials and substantiated conclusions:
Based on the results of these measures, the Agency drew up 26 substantiated conclusions with signs of corruption or corruption-related offences.
All conclusions were forwarded to the specially authorised bodies in the field of anti-corruption. Among them:
- 18 conclusions – with signs of corruption offences, the probable damage from which exceeds UAH 290 million;
- 8 conclusions – on offences related to corruption.
In particular, it was found that officials of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration may have been involved in the procurement of goods for the construction of engineering and military structures and fortifications at prices that, according to preliminary data, exceeded market prices by more than UAH 15 million. The purchases were probably made in collusion with affiliated entrepreneurs. NACP drew up a reasoned conclusion with signs of an offence under Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine and forwarded it to the National Police. Criminal proceedings have been initiated.
Another example is the discovery of abuse of office by officials of several territorial administrations of the State Agency for Land Reclamation, Fisheries and Food Programmes of Ukraine. They transferred state property to third-party commercial structures without the mandatory commission appraisal procedure and at an undervalued price.The estimated losses amount to UAH 1.8 million. The actions of the officials show signs of violations under Part 4 of Article 191 and Part 2 of Article 364 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Criminal proceedings have also been initiated in this case.
Reports on administrative offences
During the first six months of 2025, NACP drew up seven reports on administrative offences against seven individuals. Most of them (four reports) concerned violations of the requirements for the prevention and resolution of conflicts of interest (Article 172-7 of the Code of Administrative Offences).
One report was drawn up for violation of restrictions on combining and holding other types of positions (Article 172-4 of the Code of Administrative Offences) and violation of restrictions established by law on receiving gifts.
(Article 172-5 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offences) and failure to comply with the lawful requirements of the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (Article 188-46 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offences).
Among those against whom reports were drawn up is the former head of the Vasylkiv City District Court of Kyiv Region.
After the Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Anti-Corruption Court in October 2024 and seized part of the value of his apartment worth UAH 3.6 million as an unjustified asset, the former judge failed to inform the Council of Judges of Ukraine about the conflict of interest related to his dismissal. In accordance with Article 125 of the Law of Ukraine ‘On the Judicial System and Status of Judges,’ as the head of the court, he was required to issue an order terminating his employment with the relevant court in connection with the entry into force of the decision on the civil confiscation of his assets. The case is ongoing.
NACP orders
During the same period, the NACP issued 35 orders on violations of legislation on ethical conduct and the prevention of conflicts of interest.
For example, due to the improper conduct of an official of the territorial administration of the State Service of Ukraine for Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre, NACP issued an order to the acting head of the service demanding an official investigation. The person responsible was brought to disciplinary responsibility.
In addition, NACP found that officials of the Fisheries Agency had concluded agreements with 31 private companies for the allegedly free storage of property, which is prohibited by Article 54 of the Law of Ukraine ‘On Prevention of Corruption’. Following the NACP's order to the head of the Fisheries Agency, the officials responsible were brought to disciplinary responsibility, and the heads of the territorial administrations were instructed to terminate these questionable transactions.
NACP continues to consistently implement its anti-corruption policy to ensure the integrity and accountability of public officials. The preliminary results of the Agency's work in this area can be found at the following links: March-April, May, June.
