Thousands of people protesting in Kiev against Zelensky, who just signed a law that weakens Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies.

The new law grants the prosecutor general control of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (Nabu) and Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (Sap), and critics say it undermines their authority.

In an address on Wednesday, Zelensky said both agencies would still “work” but needed to be cleared of “Russian influence”.

After the bill passed, hundreds of people gathered in Kyiv for the biggest anti-government protest since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022.

“I’m not a sucker!” (Я ж не лох!), people shout, echoing Zelensky’s infamous phrase.

Demonstrations were also seen in the cities of Lviv, Dnipro and Odesa.
