Member of the National Agency for Corruption Prevention (NACP) Ruslan Riaboshapka has said he tendered his resignation.

"Supporting demands of society and the government, with the aim of quickly establishing effective work of the NACP, I today tendered my resignation with Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers," he wrote on his Facebook page on Friday, June 9.

Riaboshapka said NACP operations "require immediate steps, because any delays could discredit not only the idea of effective crime prevention but also deepen frustration of our compatriots in the ability to achieve substantive results in overcoming corruption," he wrote.

Riaboshapka called on parliament members to support a bill re-launching the NACP and said he would be willing to assist the NACP in future.
