Nova Ukraine applauds the recent restoration of the independence of Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies, supported by strengthened safeguards to prevent Russian influence.
The street protests across the country that led to this outcome were spearheaded by young, enthusiastic Ukrainians. Unlike the historic movements in 2004 and 2013, protesters demanded strong, independent government institutions, rather than facing the challenges of changing the country’s strategic course or replacing the president. This new wave of civic activism underscores an evolving democratic spirit among Ukraine’s youth determined to ensure the stability of the rule of law and institutional integrity.
The Ukrainian government heard the will of its people, then acted swiftly and appropriately — something that would not be possible in a dictatorship, in Russia. Nova Ukraine — all of us — are proud and immensely supportive of the young Ukrainians who fight against corruption. We have funded multiple anti-corruption projects over the years and have supported civil society as a core value and mission from the start.
Building on democracy during a brutal war is an immense challenge for both the authorities and the people of Ukraine. Yet, the events of recent days have demonstrated a powerful collective commitment of Ukrainians to democracy and the rule of law under extraordinary pressures. This moment highlights the resilience of Ukraine’s democratic institutions and the steadfast resolve of its citizens, especially younger generations, to defend their country’s sovereignty and democratic future.
