In 2014, following the
Revolution of Dignity, Anti-Corruption Action Center saw
Yuriy Lutsenko, who later became
Prosecutor General of Ukraine, as an "ally" following Lutsenko's role in the Maidan protests. By 2015, according to AntAC director Daria Kaleniuk, the
International Monetary Fund and the
European Union trusted AntAC's analysis of
corruption in Ukraine and were sceptical of the Ukrainian president and
Verkhovna Rada. By 2019, in relation to the
Trump–Ukraine scandal, AntAC and nineteen other organisations described Lutsenko as having supported "grave corruption and human-rights violations in Ukraine".
Solomon–Dareniuk debate In 2019,
Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko's criticism of AntAC and AntAC's criticism of Lutsenko were published in US newspaper
The Hill in relation to the
Trump–Ukraine scandal. The opinion piece by journalist
John Solomon and the response by AntAC director Kaleniuk were published shortly after one another, in late March and early April. Solomon alleged that AntAC lacked independence from United States (US) and
George Soros, in particular via funding. Kaleniuk responded with criticism of
Lutsenko, arguing that Solomon's article was based on an interview with Lutsenko, who was severely criticised by AntAC. She stated that AntAC funding came from multiple European and US sources, and that 500 donations from Ukrainians had been received in 2018. Kaleniuk stated that AntAC was pleased that its "documented evidence" of corruption had "reached" European and US legal authorities. She stated that "without US assistance and support", the cycle of
corruption and impunity would not be broken. ==2022 Russian invasion==
