'At 21:30, a huge number of people in gear and with weapons burst in, having arrived on five buses. More than 30 people' Yulia Tymoshenko

In response to a question about the existence of a court order or written instructions from the prosecutor, Yulia Tymoshenko asked: 'Do you have a court decision, or perhaps the prosecutor wrote something?'

Incident and its consequences

This incident occurred against the backdrop of reports from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP), which reported suspicions against the leader of one of the parliamentary factions of the Verkhovna Rada for offering illegal benefits. The investigation established that after the exposure of corruption facts in parliament at the end of 2025, she initiated the creation of a systemic mechanism for regular payments to deputies.

This case raised public concern and drew attention to the situation surrounding anti-corruption investigations in Ukraine. The incident underscores the escalating tension between political factions and anti-corruption bodies, which may have serious implications for the further development of anti-corruption reforms in the country. Given the intensified actions of NABU and SAP, this situation may indicate an increasing fight against corruption, but it also raises concerns about the safety of politicians and public figures in Ukraine.
