STORYLINE:
Ukraine’s prosecutor general commented publicly Thursday on the expanded powers granted to his office under a new law passed by parliament and signed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
During a press briefing, Ruslan Kravchenko said he does not intend to interfere with the independence of existing agencies.
He acknowledged public scrutiny over the reform and pledged to act strictly within legal bounds.
In the morning, Zelenskyy convened the heads of Ukraine’s key anti-corruption and security agencies in response to the outcry against his decision to approve the law that was passed by parliament.
Activists on Wednesday called for more protests of a new law that they say weakens Ukraine’s anti-corruption watchdogs, following the first major anti-government demonstration in over three years of war.
The legislation also has drawn rebukes from European Union officials and international rights groups, as well as putting increased pressure on President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and endangering his public support at a critical phase of the war.
