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 democratic reforms and EU ambitions, triggered the largest anti-government demonstrations since Russia's full-scale invasion. Under intense pressure from citizens, the EU, and Western allies, Zelensky quickly reversed course, promising new legislation to restore the agencies' autonomy. The episode has damaged Zelensky's reformist image and raised concerns about Ukraine's commitment to fighting corruption, a key condition for continued Western support and EU membership.
The crisis highlights the fragility of Ukraine's democratic institutions even as it battles Russian aggression.
