Mass protests against Zelensky’s crackdown on anti-graft bodies: What we know so far

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about bureaucratic reshuffling—it’s a potential turning point for Ukraine’s credibility. Zelensky campaigned on cleaning up corruption, but now he’s being accused of doing the opposite. With Ukraine still heavily dependent on international aid, especially from the U.S. and EU, any perception of backsliding on reform could strain those relationships. Protests like these signal deep public distrust, and that’s a problem for a wartime leader trying to keep morale (and foreign backing) intact.
