Zelenskyy announces new anti-corruption Bill after public outcry and EU criticism
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that he is sending a new anti-corruption Bill to Ukraine’s Parliament on Thursday, in a further attempt to defuse tensions after he approved changes to corruption laws that brought a public outcry and sharp criticism from the European Union.
Opponents of the contentious law passed by politicians and approved by Mr Zelenskyy earlier this week said that it stripped Ukraine’s anti-corruption watchdogs of their independence by granting the government more oversight of their work.
