The Ukrainian parliament’s passage of a law limiting the powers of anti-corruption institutions sparked widespread protests across the country. Demonstrators in cities like Kyiv, Lviv, and Odessa decried the law as an “authoritarian move” aimed at consolidating President Zelensky’s power.
Zelensky defended the law, citing the need to purge anti-corruption agencies of Russian influence. He stressed the importance of ensuring justice and accountability. Tensions rose after NABU investigated high-profile political cases, leading to raids on anti-corruption offices by security forces. The new law places NABU and SAPO under the Prosecutor General’s Office, allowing greater government control over their activities.
