Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a new draft bill on Thursday aimed at combating corruption, in an effort to quell protests sparked by a controversial law that critics say undermines the independence of two key anti-graft bodies.
The contentious legislation was passed on Tuesday, meant to give the country’s chief prosecutor oversight over the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO).
