Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has commented on the adoption at first reading of bills on reforming the SBU Security Service of Ukraine and the creation of the Bureau of Economic Security, saying that the SBU will not be a nightmare for businesses.
In his video blog, the president noted the adoption by parliament of a number of important draft laws, including the bill on the Bureau of Economic Security, as well as the bill on reforming the Security Service of Ukraine (first reading), and thanked lawmakers for supporting the legislative initiatives. These were important points of my election campaign. We promised the SBU would not deal with the economy. We promised the SBU would not be a nightmare for businesses and entrepreneurs.
