Корупція в Україні. Дослідження НАЗК пояснило, що змінилося за рік.

National Agency for Prevention of Corruption conducted a comprehensive study on corruption in Ukraine in 2024. They found that the overall corruption perception index continues to rise, but the business sector is more optimistic than the population.

An interview was conducted with the population and businesses: over 3,000 interviews in total.

According to the population, corruption ranked second among the five main problems in Ukraine. The biggest problem in Ukraine in 2024 was considered the war, with corruption coming in second. 79.4% of respondents consider it a "very serious" problem, while 15.4% consider it "rather serious".

Following in the ranking were: high cost of living, injustice in the judicial system, and population migration.

At the same Time, the position of the business sector differed significantly from the position of the population. The ranking of social problems in Ukraine was different:

1. Armed aggression from the Russian Federation - 95.7% considered it a "very serious" problem;
2. Corruption - 76%;
3. Population migration - 69.2%;
4. Injustice in the judicial system - 61%;
5. High cost of living - 52.6%.

Both the population and the entrepreneurs consider political corruption as the most serious type of corruption: 80% and 76% respectively. Interestingly, only 47% of the population and only 19.1% of businesses consider everyday corruption (bribes in hospitals, etc.) "very serious".

The respondents also named the most corrupt sectors according to the population and businesses. The population named the judicial system as the most corrupt sector, while businesses gave this status to customs.

The overall corruption perception index continues to rise. In response to the question: "In your opinion, how widespread is corruption in Ukraine overall?" on a scale of 1 to 5, the result among the population was 4.52, and among entrepreneurs - 4.39.

The National Agency for Prevention of Corruption notes that respondents observe a significant increase in the level of corruption, but businesses are less pessimistic than the population.

As reported by "Hlavkom", on January 20, employees of the Security Service of Ukraine, with the assistance of the Minister of Defense and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, detained Colonel Oleg Druzya. According to the investigation, during 2022-2024, Druzya acquired a house and two plots of land in the Obukhiv district of the Kyiv region, three apartments in Kyiv and Odessa, and four BMW cars: X3, released in 2022, X7, released in 2022, X5, released in 2023, and X7, released in 2024.

As previously reported, detectives from the Bureau of Economic Security in Kyiv announced the suspicion of the head of the Support Command Management of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who misappropriated state funds.

It is worth recalling that since the beginning of 2024, the Security Service of Ukraine has opened 14 criminal cases regarding unlawful actions of military medical commissions (MMC). This was reported by the command of the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine after a joint meeting with the leadership of the MMC units to effectively prevent corrupt practices.
