💨 Abstract

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently reversed a law that would have reduced the independence of anti-corruption agencies following widespread protests. The initial decision sparked public outrage and damaged his image, with polls showing a decline in approval ratings. The protests highlighted growing concerns over potential corruption within Zelenskyy's inner circle and demonstrated the limits of public trust despite wartime support. This comes amidst ongoing concerns from Ukrainian lawmakers and Western allies about maintaining democratic institutions.
