President Volodymyr Zelensky reversed course, but it is unclear if that will quell the anger that erupted when he stripped anticorruption agencies of independence.

For the first time since Russia’s invasion, the streets of Ukraine are alive not just with the sound of air raid sirens, but with protest.

Volodymyr Zelensky has promised to reverse a crackdown on Ukraine’s anticorruption agencies following street protests.

The express approval of the new anti-corruption law triggers the first protests against the government since the start of the Russian invasion. The president promises to reform these agencies within two weeks while the public suspects it is a move to protect his inner circle.

Zelensky has submitted draft legislation to restore the independence of Ukraine's anti-corruption agencies, reversing course after an outburst of public criticism.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a new bill that critics says weakens the country's anti-corruption agencies.

Hundreds of people gathered in Ukraine’s capital Kyiv to lodge their protest with the Volodymyr Zelensky’s administration for passing a controversial bill tightening restrictions on its anti-corruption agencies, presenting the war-hit nation with its biggest domestic turmoil since the Russian invasion in February 2022.

Volodymyr Zelensky was once Ukraine’s saviour. In the first hours of the Russian invasion, as Putin’s paratroopers advanced on Central Kyiv with specific orders to kill him, Zelensky refused to evacuate.
