For the first time since Russia's full-scale invasion, Ukraine has seen mass protests erupt against President Volodymyr Zelensky after he signed a controversial law curbing the independence of key anti-corruption agencies. The move sparked outrage among Ukrainians and drew sharp criticism from the EU and Western allies, who warned it could jeopardize Ukraine's EU membership bid and vital international support. Under intense domestic and international pressure, Zelensky quickly reversed course, promising new legislation to restore the agencies' autonomy. The episode has exposed deep public concern over democratic backsliding and the fragility of wartime unity, as well as the critical importance of anti-corruption reforms for Ukraine's future. The protests highlight that, even amid war, Ukrainians demand accountability and adherence to democratic principles.
