'No Russian influence…’: Zelenskyy pushes new law amid anger over anti-corruption rollbacks

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is under fire after signing a bill that weakens anti-corruption watchdogs, sparking mass protests in Kyiv. Despite promising a new law to guarantee the independence of these bodies, critics say key issues remain unaddressed. The legislation grants sweeping powers to the prosecutor general, alarming European allies. Zelenskyy claims the changes are needed to eliminate Russian influence and reform Ukraine’s anti-corruption infrastructure.
