Ukraine's Zelensky introduces bill after anti-corruption protests

Jul 26, 2025

Kyiv [Ukraine], July 26: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has submitted a new draft bill to the country's legislature, in an effort to calm outrage over a previously passed law that critics say paves the way for corruption. The country's anticorruption agencies quickly hailed the bill's introduction on Thursday, saying it would restore their "procedural powers and guarantees of independence". The Ukrainian leader has contended with protests and condemnation from both within Ukraine and from its closest European allies after a separate controversial law was passed on Tuesday. That law placed the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) under the direct authority of the country's prosecutor general - a position appointed by the president.
