‘European Solidarity’ MP Iryna Friz sent a parliamentary request to the Security Service of Ukraine to give a legal assessment to the publications of MP Mariana Bezuhla, which may contain state secrets.
In her statement, Iryna Friz noted that Mariana Bezuhla published posts on Facebook about the size of the Ukrainian army and other information that may contain state secrets.
In particular, on December 14, 2023, Bezuhla wrote that there are about a million soldiers in the Defense Forces, and 300,000 are fighting at the front. On the same day, Bezuhla published another post about the national security and defense budget for 2024.
MP Friz thinks that such information may be used by Russia to achieve strategic goals during the planning and conduct of hostilities in the territory of Ukraine, as well as in general for the implementation of information and psychological operations by the special services of Russia.
Earlier, the ‘European Solidarity’ party initiated the dismissal of Mariana Bezuhla from the position of the deputy head of the parliamentary committee.
Amendments to Ukraine’s enforcement proceedings legislation, initiated by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, have entered into force. Among other measures, the reform provides for the automated lifting of attachments on bank accounts immediately after debts in enforcement proceedings have been fully settled. The main practical benefit for citizens is the complete elimination of the need to contact an enforcement officer in person and wait for paper decisions once the debt has been paid.

In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now. The EU is trying to work out how to spread responsibility for its own security across society as a whole, rather than leaving it to institutions alone. It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.
Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end. This was emphasized by Rinat Akhmetov, president of FC Shakhtar, during a working visit to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where he met with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.
