Volodymyr Zelenskyy approved a contentious bill weakening Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies

Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s decision to approve a contentious bill weakening Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies is facing growing criticism at home and abroad – just hours before another round of peace talks with Russia in Istanbul.

Last night, around 1,500 people protested against the reform in Kyiv , first urging him to veto the bill, and then opposing his decision to sign it into law. Large protests also took place in other cities.
