Ukrainian President Zelenskyy pledged that 2021 would be the year of judicial reform for Ukraine. It cannot come soon enough. In October, Ukraine’s Constitutional Court sparked a major political crisis by invalidating the authority of the National Agency for Corruption Prevention. Public officials would no longer be required to publicly disclose their assets, a major step forward in reducing graft in politics. The establishment of the anti-corruption organization was a key demand of Ukraine’s Western donors. While a compromise was eventually reached, many found it unsatisfactory and worry that the Constitutional Court can remove the powers of the anti-corruption body yet again. Public officials no longer face potential jail time or penalty if they fail to submit their asset declaration. One of Ukraine’s major Maidan reforms has been watered down.
