Germany's foreign minister criticized Ukraine's recent law that compromises the independence of anti-corruption agencies, stating it obstructs Ukraine’s EU membership ambitions. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy defended these reforms amidst growing domestic protests. The law places the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office directly under the control of the Ukrainian prosecutor general, appointed by Zelenskyy.

Negotiations between Ukrainian and Russian delegations are also ongoing, focusing on prisoner swaps amid the conflict.
