Ukrainians protest new law, fearing it undermines anti-corruption agencies' independence.

Thousands of Ukrainians have taken to the streets in Kyiv and other cities to protest a new law that critics say undermines the independence of key anti-corruption agencies. The legislation, passed by parliament, grants the Prosecutor General increased control over the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO), sparking fears it will reduce their effectiveness. Protesters, including war veterans, argue this move could harm Ukraine's bid to join the EU and maintain Western aid, with some calling for President Zelenskyy to veto the bill.
