President Zelenski announces a bill to strengthen anti-corruption institutions in response to protests in Ukraine and European criticism.

Following warnings from European leaders and protests in 17 Ukrainian cities, President Zelenski has promised a draft law to strengthen anti-corruption institutions. It aims to ensure the independence of these bodies and prevent outside influence, including from Russia. Critics argue that the recently adopted law 12414 undermines the independence of anti-corruption bodies, and Zelenski has called for proposals for concrete measures to strengthen the rule of law in Ukraine.
