Ukraine enacts law to secure independence of anti-corruption bodies

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has signed a new bill to secure the independence of anti-corruption bodies. The previous law was enacted on July 22 to place two anti-corruption agencies under the control of the president-appointed prosecutor general.

Some European countries have also voiced concerns about the law. Last week, Zelenskyy submitted a new bill designed to protect the independence of the two agencies with the president-appointed prosecutor general in place. The new law was enacted on Thursday after the parliament passed the bill and the president signed it.
