Are protests putting Ukraine's President Zelensky under pressure? | BBC News

Описание:

Protests have taken place across Ukraine after President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a new law which critics say weakens the independence of Ukraine’s anti-corruption bodies. Demonstrations in cities across the country became the largest anti-government protests to take place in Ukraine since the Russian invasion in 2022. Adam is joined by Vitaly Shevchenko, Ukrainecast host, and Orysia Lutsevych, head of the Ukraine forum at Chatham House, to discuss Ukraine’s history with government corruption and why the new law is so controversial. Two city traders who were found guilty of rigging interest rates have had their convictions overturned, and Andy Verity, BBC’s financial investigations correspondent, tells Adam all about the case.
