💨 Abstract

Protests have erupted in Ukraine against a new law that subordinates two key anti-corruption agencies to the prosecutor general, a presidential appointee. Critics argue this move undermines the agencies' independence and consolidates President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's power. Zelenskyy, however, claims the law is necessary to remove "Russian influence" from the anti-corruption fight. The protests highlight concerns about democracy and corruption in Ukraine, a nation fighting a war with Russia.
