Ukraine's parliament has passed, and President Volodymyr Zelensky has signed, a controversial law that strips the country's key anti-corruption agencies of their independence, placing them under greater executive control.
The move has sparked widespread protests across major Ukrainian cities and drawn sharp criticism from civil society, anti-corruption activists, and international partners including the EU and G7. Critics warn that the law undermines years of anti-corruption reforms, jeopardizes Ukraine's bid for EU membership, and hands a propaganda victory to Russia. The legislation is seen as a major setback for Ukraine's democratic progress and has triggered the first significant wartime protests against Zelensky's government.
Despite calls to veto the bill, the government has pressed ahead, raising concerns about the future of Ukraine's fight against corruption.
