Zelensky in night address touches on controversial law stripping anti-corruption agencies of independence but ignores protests

"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has not commented in his night address on the

signing of the law stripping the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) of their independence, nor on the related protests which have taken place. For a long time, there was no reaction on the Office of the President's website or Zelensky's social media accounts to the controversial bill approved by the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian Parliament). Meanwhile, the heads of NABU and SAPO had called on the president not to sign the document.
Hundreds of people in major Ukrainian cities have held protests demanding the president veto the draft law. Protests took place in Kyiv near the Office of the President and in Lviv, Odesa and Dnipro." Pravada
