Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a new anti-corruption bill after the previous version faced significant backlash, including protests across Ukraine and criticism from the European Union. The earlier bill sought to increase government oversight of anti-corruption bodies but was met with nationwide unrest, marking a significant political moment since Russia's invasion. Zelenskyy affirmed the new bill's commitments to strengthening the rule of law and independence of anti-corruption agencies, and he expressed gratitude to Ukrainians for their support amid these challenges.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced he would send a new anti-corruption bill to Parliament on Thursday after a previous attempt sparked protests at home.
Zelenskyy posted on X, vowing to send the new bill to parliament on Thursday, guaranteeing real strengthening of the rule of law in Ukraine.
The move from the Ukrainian president to remove the independence of two anti-corruption bodies earlier in the week had sparked nationwide protests.
Protesters highlighted what they saw as a 'return' to the era of pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych, who was forced to flee to Russia.
