Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sparked mass protests after signing a law that stripped two key anti-corruption agencies of their independence, raising fears about the country’s commitment to fighting graft.
The move triggered outrage from Ukrainian citizens, international allies, and the EU, who warned that weakening anti-corruption watchdogs could jeopardize Ukraine’s democratic progress and EU membership hopes. In response to the backlash, Zelensky quickly reversed course, promising new legislation to restore the agencies’ autonomy. The crisis marks the largest domestic challenge to Zelensky’s presidency since the Russian invasion, highlighting the public’s demand for transparency and accountability even during wartime.
