Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sparked mass protests and international criticism after signing a law that stripped key anti-corruption agencies of their independence.
The move, seen as a major setback for Ukraine's fight against graft, triggered the largest anti-government demonstrations since Russia's full-scale invasion. Under pressure from the public, EU, and Western allies, Zelensky quickly reversed course, introducing new legislation to restore the agencies' autonomy. The crisis has raised concerns about Ukraine's democratic trajectory, its prospects for EU membership, and the unity of its wartime government.
Observers warn that any perceived retreat from anti-corruption reforms could undermine Western support and play into the hands of Russia.
