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.

Apparently, Zelenskyy has since backtracked faster than a politician at a lie detector test.
