Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he has submitted a draft law to reinstate the freedom of two anti-corruption bodies in Ukraine - days after nationwide protests broke out over changes curbing their independence.
Kyiv’s Western partners had also expressed serious concerns over the legislation.
On Thursday, Zelensky backtracked, saying the new bill was intended to safeguard the independence of Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (Nabu) and Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (Sap), and to protect them from Russian influence.

Nabu said that the new bill “restored all procedural powers and guarantees of independence” of the two bodies.
The law passed earlier this week brought Nabu and Sap under the control of the prosecutor general, who is appointed by the president.

I wish the politicians in my country would listen to protesters like that.
However, I’m also worried about russian spies abusing the powers of those government bodies, but it seems like SBU keeps an eye on them.
Meduza reports:
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) welcomed the bill, saying it “restores all procedural powers and guarantees of independence for NABU and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO).” The agency noted that both institutions had taken part in drafting the legislation.

Exiled Russians in Latvia aren’t your enemy, even if other Russians have invaded your country.
This type of thinking is the first step to genocide. Cheers from Germany.
you will decide who my enemy is and who isn’t only after your country is invaded, you survive and you at least have some clue on how to distinguish those.
