Germany's foreign minister criticized Ukraine's recent law that compromises the independence of anti-corruption agencies, stating it obstructs Ukraine’s EU membership ambitions. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy defended these reforms amidst growing domestic protests. The law places the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office directly under the control of the Ukrainian prosecutor general, appointed by Zelenskyy. This move has incited public demonstrations, representing a significant backlash against his government. Negotiations between Ukrainian and Russian delegations are also ongoing, focusing on prisoner swaps amid the conflict.
