Sobolev ousted – What now?

Following along seamlessly, and fortunately exactly as scripted within the previous entry from the perspective of prophecy, the Verkhovna Rada did not deliberate the suicidal draft law that would have placed NABU under “parliamentary oversight”.

“Parliamentary oversight” in the Ukrainian context unambiguously means “political subordination”.

Naturally political subordination for an anti-corruption entity tasked with dealing with corruption among parliamentarians meant the death of NABU.  As an institution it would have continued – but de-fanged and de-clawed and otherwise a political tool for whomever held the parliamentary majority.
