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 power grab, triggered the largest anti-government demonstrations since Russia’s 2022 invasion, with many Ukrainians fearing a backslide in democratic reforms. Under pressure from the public, the EU, and international organizations, Zelensky quickly reversed course, promising new legislation to restore the agencies’ autonomy. The crisis has damaged Zelensky’s popularity and raised concerns about Ukraine’s commitment to fighting corruption, a key condition for EU accession and continued Western support.
The episode marks a pivotal moment for Ukraine’s democracy and Zelensky’s presidency.
