UPDATE: Zelensky signs law destroying independence of Ukraine's key anti-corruption bodies

President Volodymyr Zelensky approved the law on July 22 despite large-scale protests against the law, which critics say undermines years of pro-democracy reforms.

The Ukrainian parliament on July 22 approved amendments that effectively destroy the independence of Ukraine’s two key anti-corruption institutions, according to opposition lawmakers and watchdogs.

The legislation grants the prosecutor general new powers over investigations led by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and cases led by the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO).

The step comes as Ukrainian authorities ramp up pressure against the two agencies established as part of the anti-graft reforms after the EuroMaidan Revolution.

    Yeah, and he was “protecting” the whole world from Jews too! /s

    Most of these people cannot say exactly from whom those ethnic Russians had to be protected, and of course, they cannot say where ethnic Russians came from to the lands where more Ukrainians used to live (hint: genocide of the Ukrainian people by Russians).
