Ukraine’s Anti-Graft Forces Still Feel Pressure From Zelenskiy

Ukraine’s anti-corruption officials fear that pressure will remain from President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s administration even after he backed down over a measure to strip anti-graft agencies of their independence.

Anxiety is lingering that Kyiv may still undermine the work of the country’s two main anti-corruption agencies, through pressure on investigators or removing their directors, according to people familiar with the matter. Those concerns are shared in the capitals of Kyiv’s allies, according to a European official.
