Ukrainian youth are on their way as the Zelensky law, they are reversed to defuse the crisis

With the gathering of Ukraine deputies in Parliament in Kiev on Thursday, some reinforced paper signs that have been read, “We are with our people.”

It was a message to thousands of young demonstrators who participated in the largest anti -government demonstrations since the beginning of the full invasion of Russia. They were in strength again on Thursday.

Then the parliamentarians entered Parliament, and RADA, and participated in a vote that was overwhelmed by an overwhelming majority by President Volodymyr Zelensky last week, which reduced the independence of two main agencies to combat well -known corruption.

The signs carried by the deputies outside Rada were a reference to the banners carried by thousands of young people who moved to the streets in cities and cities throughout Ukraine for about a week.

The demonstrators demanded Zelinski and his government to “remove their hands” two anti -corruption bodies, and threatened to continue to continue until the government will rotate.

Within days, I did.

The original Zelinski bill has stripped these two independent authority to determine who must be prosecuted in high -level corruption cases, which gave this concession to the public prosecutor – a presidential appointment.

For the demonstrators who throw the players, protecting Nabo and SAP independence was very important for their European future as much as the war against Russia was a matter of life and death for their country.

In 2022, Kyiv was given the desired situation to the country of the European Union candidate – but on the condition that it be a reliable battle against corruption.

For Western partners in Ukraine, donors and investors who pour money in the country through international assistance and finance programs, and the presence and independence of anti -corruption bodies are not negotiable.

As for Ukraine and its broken war, the war-external financial assistance is very important.

Just 10 days ago it was that the deputies supported the controversial Zelinski law, yet they voted on Thursday from 331 to 0 to cancel it. Either way, they seemed to follow the direction of Zelinski.

“Ukraine is democratic – certainly there are no doubts,” he said on social media.

Many Ukrainians see Zelinski’s right man, Andrei Yermak, behind the last options of the president.

Yermak’s position is not organized as head of the presidential office by the constitution and is not limited to any checks or assets. Questions are being asked about such a role in Ukraine democracy.

The protection of that democracy and the Ukraine cycle towards European integration was the main drivers of young demonstrators, while their parents and friends were defending their country on the front lines.

MPS has done their best to show the problem that was now solved, but this crisis left behind an unpleasant taste.

Zulinski’s skepticism has caused anti -corruption reforms.

Perhaps it seemed ready to settle these reforms may have led to an increase in the confidence that the European Union has set.

Some have linked between the government’s attempt to reduce the independence of Nabu and SAP. Strong characters in the Zelensky Circle have been scrutinized, facing some charges or investigation.

Zelinski’s move also came after the government rejected a candidate chosen by an independent committee to head the Office for Economic Security – the main agency to investigate economic crimes in Ukraine.

The official reason did not get Oleksandr Tsyvinski the job is that he did not get a security permit from the security service, under the control of the president.

However, Tsyvinski is a well -to -corruption expert and the selection committee still wants to appoint it.

All of these elements have resulted in one of the largest power crises for the Zelensky team since it came to power in 2019.

Three and a half years after the war on a large scale, the risk of more wrong steps can come at a large cost.

Next year, the Ukraine budget deficit may reach $ 13 billion (10 billion pounds), according to National Bank estimates. Kyiv will not be able to continue to fight if she loses the support of Western partners.

Indeed, the European Union reduced some financial aid to Ukraine because the government has not continued the promised reforms.

It seems that the young demonstrators in Ukraine understood this well, and they were ready to challenge their government in a country where they chose to stay despite the deadly threat of Russian attacks of drones and missiles.
