"I have decided to leave the 'Servant of the People' parliamentary faction. This is my reaction to our voting last week. I stood on Maidan during the first night of the Revolution of Dignity, and it feels like just yesterday. I remember our emotions and aspirations. I have always supported Ukraine’s European choice: 'Away from Moscow'. The Revolution of Dignity, at the cost of the lives of our best compatriots, made this civilizational choice. While there are many questions regarding NABU and SAP, the establishment of an anti-corruption infrastructure has been the main outcome of the Revolution of Dignity," Kostiuk noted.

The MP stated that he will vote for the presidential bill aimed at restoring the independence of NABU and SAP.

Kostiuk voted 'for' the law that made anti-corruption agencies dependent on the decisions of the General Prosecutor.

For reference: Dmytro Kostiuk was elected to the Parliament in the snap elections of 2019 from constituency No. 65 in Zhytomyr region.
