President Zelenski has initiated a bill to ensure the independence of anti-corruption agencies in response to protests in Ukraine.

Following massive protests against a law curtailing the autonomy of anti-corruption institutions, Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski has proposed a new draft law to guarantee their independence. The bill aims to strengthen justice and security by protecting them from outside influence, especially Russian. The law will be submitted to parliament for approval, and international reactions, including from the European commission, underline the risks the legislation poses to Ukraine's EU accession process.
