“The Ukrainian parliament on Thursday approved a bill submitted by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy last week that returned independence to key state anti-corruption agencies. Lawmakers in the judiciary committee had unanimously supported Zelenskyy’s new bill on Wednesday, after domestic protests – and a backlash from Brussels — helped shoot down a previous bill that would have kneecapped corruption watchdogs. The same MPs who voted for the law that brought the independent National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP) under the oversight of the politically appointed prosecutor general of Ukraine ultimately U-turned on the decision in the new vote Thursday.” (07/31/25)
