Ukraine Reinstates Anti-Corruption Agencies' Independence | JQJO

Ukraine's parliament swiftly passed and President Zelensky signed a law restoring the independence of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO). This reverses a controversial July 22nd law that sparked protests and international backlash. The new law addresses concerns about political interference, reinstating key safeguards. While the EU welcomed the move, concerns remain about ongoing challenges to anti-corruption efforts and the need for further reforms.
