Zelenskiy has maintained a strong political position in Ukraine since 2019, commanding the government and parliament. However, he faces growing unrest as public protests emerge against measures affecting the autonomy of anti-corruption bodies. Thousands gathered in major cities in response to government actions, mainly following a controversial raid by the Security Services on anti-corruption institutions. Civil society and international allies condemned these actions as politically motivated. A recent reform by Zelenskiy's party effectively undermines the independence of key anti-corruption agencies, prompting activists to call for widespread protests against this and escalating public discontent amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
The political landscape in Ukraine has shifted dramatically, as President Zelenskiy, despite wielding significant power, faces unprecedented public protests against government actions undermining anti-corruption initiatives.
For the first time in three and a half years of war, public protests erupted in Ukraine, highlighting the discontent among citizens regarding Zelenskiy’s assault on the country's anti-corruption bodies.
The actions taken by the Security Services of the Ministry of the Interior sparked unrest, leading thousands to gather in major cities to protest against government measures affecting corruption agencies.
