"For a second day, street protests were held in Kiev and many other cities, targeting Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky and his decision to defang the independent anti-corruption agencies and subordinate them to his own Prosecutor General – at a moment where peopleclose to him had become targets for graft investigations.
The Financial Times reported that ‘The rush [to approve and sing into law the controversial Bill No. 12414] appears to have been sparked by investigations into members of Zelensky’s circle’.
With all the world’s attention focused on the unprecedented protests, Zelensky can’t have his thugs open fire in the crowd to disperse them, so he appears to be either caving to the pressure, or else trying to appear to do so to deflate the movement.
On the other side of the Atlantic, even major warmonger Senator Lindsay Graham torched Zelensky for cutting the powers of Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies.
He warned it ‘undermines progress’ and ‘risks future US support’." GWP
