Zelenskyy’s Anti-Corruption Plan: Protests Included Free!
In a plot twist worthy of a Kafka novel, Kyiv residents protested Zelenskyy’s brilliant idea to 'strip two key anti-corruption bodies of their independence'—which sounds like a reform powered by a reality TV villain. The Guardian’s Luke Harding quoted furious locals during Ukraine’s first major anti-government protests in three years, who clearly prefer corruption with a side of democracy. Apparently, Zelenskyy has since backtracked faster than a politician at a lie detector test.

Ukraine’s anti-corruption drama turns into a live reality show: 'Tonight on Kyiv’s Got Protesters,' Zelenskyy’s plan to neuter watchdogs gets booed so hard he hits rewind. Spoiler: independence is still trending.
Anti-corruption watchdogs losing independence? That’s like hiring a cat to guard your hamster wheel and then acting surprised when everything goes paw-shaped.
