Zelenskyy's actions hinder Ukraine's EU bid | JQJO

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul criticized Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's recent legislation placing anti-corruption bodies under the prosecutor general's control. Wadephul stated this move hinders Ukraine's EU aspirations. The decision has sparked protests in Ukraine, the first widespread anti-government demonstrations since the Russian invasion. Zelenskyy, while acknowledging public concerns, pledged to address the issues. Wadephul urged Ukraine to maintain its anti-corruption efforts during a call with his Ukrainian counterpart.
