Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sparked the largest anti-government protests since the Russian invasion after signing a law that curbed the independence of key anti-corruption agencies. The move triggered widespread outrage among Ukrainians and drew sharp criticism from the EU, which warned that weakening anti-corruption efforts could jeopardize Ukraine's bid for EU membership. Protesters in multiple cities demanded the law be repealed, arguing it threatened hard-won reforms and democratic values established after the Revolution of Dignity. Under intense domestic and international pressure, Zelensky reversed course and submitted a new bill to restore the agencies' independence. The crisis highlights the central role of anti-corruption institutions in Ukraine's democracy and the risks of backsliding during wartime.
