In a significant political turnaround, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signed a law reinstating the independence of anti-corruption agencies, following widespread protests and backlash from the public and international community. The decision to restore the powers of these watchdogs comes after Zelensky faced immense pressure from demonstrators who rallied against his initial attempts to curb their autonomy. The passage of the new anti-corruption law was celebrated by protesters in Kyiv as a victory for democracy and accountability. European officials expressed relief over the updated legislation, viewing it as a necessary step to ensure transparency in Ukraine. Amidst ongoing political challenges, questions remain about the future of governance and the ongoing fight against corruption in the country.
