According to the report, more than 70% support the provision of the legislative initiative to Ukrainian citizens, expanding the president's powers to appoint the heads of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, as well as increasing the number of human rights ombudsmen (ombudsmen).
