  1. Ukraine’s top law enforcement agencies – including the Security Service of Ukraine, represented by its Chief Vasyl Maliuk; the Office of the Prosecutor General, led by Ruslan Kravchenko; and the State Bureau of Investigation, headed by Director Oleksii Sukhachov – told G7 representatives during a meeting that they are lawfully investigating and dismantling Russian infiltration within anti-corruption bodies, including NABU, and remain committed to upholding the rule of law even during wartime.

    Chief of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, later released a statement:
    “We have one common trouble, one enemy. So internal disagreements should be resolved through open dialogue in order to achieve one united goal—to defend our country.”

    In his evening address after the meeting, President Zelenskyy stated:

    “Of course, the NABU and SAPO will continue their work. And it’s important that the Prosecutor General is committed to ensuring that the inevitability of punishment becomes a reality in Ukraine for those who break the law.”

    Today, the President noted that he had gathered all the heads of law enforcement and anti-corruption agencies, including the Prosecutor General, for a high-level meeting. He emphasized:

    “We all hear what society is saying. We see what people expect from state institutions in terms of delivering justice and making each institution effective.”

    Protests were held in Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, and other Ukrainian cities. Protesters are demanding a veto on the law passed yesterday – and that NABU and SAPO continue their work independently and without disruption.

  2. Sorry for being uninformed, but I see a lot if young men in these protests too and I don’t understand it.

    Isn’t it mandatory for Young men to enlist in army? Or What exactly is the process of recruitment. I don’t think Ukraine is getting any soldier as volunteer now , so what is the process to get these young men in Army?

    I was under the impression Ukraine is always facing manpower shortage at the front, so why are any able bodied still on streets instead of in army?

  3. Democracy at work. Stay safe protesting people.

    Cant say the same for Ivan’s situation.

  4. I think it really says something about how people feel about this new law when they are willing to go out and protest when an air strike could come at any moment.

    I really hope Zelensky recognises the people’s wishes and concerns.

  5. Can someone break down for me in 100 words what the significance and motivation for this strange move by zelensky is?
