Quote from Zelenskyy: "NABU Director Semen Kryvonos and Head of SAPO Oleksandr Klymenko delivered a report.

A Ukrainian MP, along with heads of district and city administrations and several National Guard servicemembers, have been exposed for bribery. I am grateful to the anti-corruption agencies for their work."

Details: Zelenskyy emphasised that "there can only be zero tolerance for corruption, clear teamwork in uncovering it, and ultimately, a fair sentence".

He also stated that "it is important that anti-corruption institutions operate independently, and the law passed on Thursday guarantees them all the tools necessary for a real fight against corruption".
