A New Step for Business Protection
The Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine has officially launched the “StopPressure” platform — a nationwide digital tool that allows entrepreneurs to report cases of pressure from officials or law enforcement.
According to the Prosecutor General’s Office, the portal will help verify such cases, initiate investigations, and bring perpetrators to justice under current Ukrainian legislation.
This initiative aims to create a transparent business environment and strengthen the investment climate, showing international partners that Ukraine is actively reducing corruption risks and bureaucratic abuse.
How “StopPressure” Works
The platform is designed exclusively for business managers and operates on a simple step-by-step basis:
-
Authorization via “Diia” → ensures only verified company managers can submit cases.
-
Filing a Report → detailed description of the situation (officials’ actions, circumstances, dates, consequences).
-
Evidence Upload → businesses can attach documents, photos, or other proof.
-
Automatic Registration → the case is logged and displayed on the dashboard.
-
Review and Response → Prosecutor General’s Office ensures review within legal deadlines.
-
Follow-Up → businesses receive constant feedback and updates on managerial or procedural decisions.
Why It Matters for Business and Investors
-
Systemic Protection → entrepreneurs now have a direct mechanism to counter abuse of power.
-
Transparency → centralized recording of all appeals reduces the risk of “lost cases”.
-
Rule of Law Signal → for foreign investors, the platform demonstrates Ukraine’s commitment to reforms and fair business practices.
-
Faster Response → automated case tracking ensures accountability and timely action.
The “StopPressure” portal excludes government bodies themselves from filing appeals — it is designed exclusively for private sector businesses engaged in economic activity.
Conclusion
The launch of the “StopPressure” platform marks an important milestone in Ukraine’s efforts to improve the investment climate, protect entrepreneurs from corruption, and build trust between business and the state.
For Ukrainian and foreign investors alike, it is an additional safeguard that business activity will be protected by law, even under wartime conditions.
