Protests erupted Wednesday in Kyiv after the Ukrainian Parliament stripped the independence of two agencies at the center of the government’s anticorruption efforts.
President Volodymyr Zelensky reversed course, but it is unclear if that will quell the anger that erupted when he stripped anticorruption agencies of independence.
President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a bill limiting two Ukrainian anticorruption agencies. After street protests and other criticism, he said he would propose a new law restoring their independence.
The barrage of exploding drones and missiles appeared to be the most intense attack since President Trump announced a plan to get more weapons for Kyiv.
President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine’s proposal to revive peace talks came after President Trump agreed to facilitate the transfer of air defense weapons to Ukraine and threatened to impose sanctions on Russia’s trading partners.
An announcement by the Ukrainian president that he will seek to replace the prime minister with a loyalist came as the country faces battlefield setbacks and a souring mood.
