Snip:

Protesters in Kiev shouted insults at Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky on Tuesday, denouncing his decision to back legislation curbing the independence of anti-corruption agencies.

Zelensky had just signed a bill into law granting the Prosecutor General’s Office authority to intervene in the operations of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO).

The move followed security raids on NABU offices and the arrest of a senior official accused of spying for Russia. The legislation sparked concern in the EU and drew sharp criticism from opposition politicians.

Demonstrators gathered in central Kiev, chanting “Zelya is the devil,” using a mocking diminutive of Zelensky’s surname. Others shouted “Shame” and “Treason,” holding signs demanding the preservation of the anti-corruption system’s independence. The chants reportedly intensified after news broke that Zelensky had ignored calls to veto the bill.
