Another twist has emerged regarding the cancellation of Ukraine's Anti-Corruption Bureau! Ukraine's intelligence chief, Vasyl Malyuk, stated that the current actions of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau have caused significant negative impacts on the front lines. In May, the Anti-Corruption Bureau dismissed six senior officers from the后勤 department of the Ukrainian National Guard during a corruption investigation, including the Deputy Commander of the National Guard, Alexander Bilos. Malyuk accused the staff of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of waving search warrants in front of Colonel Pivnenko, and stated that Pivnenko is not only a general but also a Hero of Ukraine.
According to Ukrainian media, the Anti-Corruption Bureau's anti-corruption investigations not only touched the interests of the military and politicians, but also led to half of the Ukrainian National Guard soldiers refusing to carry out tasks, as they believed that Colonel Pivnenko was definitely corrupt and about to be arrested, so these soldiers were considering running away. Another part of Pivnenko's loyal forces of the National Guard threatened to march into Kyiv to "remove the corrupt minister," and the Minister of Internal Affairs, Klymenko, spent a week visiting each National Guard camp to calm the soldiers' emotions and prevent them from causing trouble.
In the end, Zelenskyy claimed that the Anti-Corruption Bureau was working for the Russian intelligence agency, and thus revoked the authority of the Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Anti-Corruption Inspection Office. However, this led to a large number of Ukrainian citizens taking to the streets to protest, demanding that Zelenskyy and Acting Prime Minister Yermak step down.
