reversed course the following week of the new law passing. that’s a pretty responsive democracy if you ask me.
News: Ukraine’s parliament voted to restore the independence of the country’s anti-corruption agencies, reversing a push to place them under the authority of a presidential appointee that triggered rare wartime protests and criticism from western partners.

it is a well known fact in Kyiv that Zelenskyy’s right-hand man, Andrii Yermak, is incredibly corrupt and has his hands in major defense contracts receiving western funding. my guess is the anti-corruption authorities were beginning to build a case against him.
To be clear: it was not the Rada, this was not good tsar, bad boyars – it was Zelensky and Yermak who organized this and pushed it through. Orders came from the office of the president last night and the law enforcement committee passed it early morning in such great haste that.

⚡️BREAKING: Zelensky signs law destroying independence of Ukraine's key anti-corruption bodies. President Zelensky approved the law on July 22 despite large-scale protests against the law, which critics say undermines years of pro-democracy reforms.
