3/4 👉TI Ukraine believes this is a political move. These notices are not the result of a lengthy, thorough investigation aimed at bringing a case to trial, but symbolic steps designed primarily for media impact.

❗️It again shows why the Prosecutor General must be politically independent and appointed through a transparent, competitive selection process.
