The Ukrainian Parliament has passed a bill that undermines anti-corruption institutions, sparking widespread protests across major cities. Citizens are demanding President Volodymyr Zelensky veto the law, but he signed it instead, placing previously independent anti-corruption agencies under executive control. This action is viewed as an autocratic move that reverses a decade of reforms, jeopardizing the rule of law, democratic progress, and aspirations for European integration. Campaign group Razom We Stand condemns this decision as a threat to democracy and institutional independence, intensifying public outrage against the government's actions.
The Ukrainian Parliament's adoption of a bill placing anti-corruption agencies under executive control threatens Ukraine's rule of law and democratic aspirations, reversing hard-won reforms.
The signing of Law No. 12414 strips anti-corruption institutions of their independence, increasingly blurring the lines between these agencies and regular law enforcement.
