Zelensky’s Power Grab Sparks Mass Protests

_WHAT’S HAPPENING_

Massive protests erupted across Ukraine after President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a controversial law on July 22, in a move considered by many Ukrainians to be a power grab.

The law put two independent anti-corruption agencies under the Prosecutor General, who the president personally appointed. The backlash was swift, with thousands of young Ukrainians taking to the streets, prompting Zelensky to quickly reverse the decision.
