00:00Thousands rallied in Kyiv on Tuesday, urging Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy to veto a bill critics say would cripple Ukraine's anti-corruption infrastructure.
00:12The parliament had passed a controversial bill tightening oversight of two key anti-corruption bodies.
00:19Critics warned the measure could weaken the independence of the agencies and increase political influence over investigations.
00:28Despite public outcry, Zelenskyy reportedly signed the bill into law.
00:34We have to do everything so that our Ukraine is complete and independent.
00:42And we have to support the army by all the methods.
00:45And this is one of them.
00:47We have to join and fight against corruption.
00:50And, of course, this is a great goal, thanks to which Europe will support us.
00:57Transparency International criticized the news, saying it undermines past reform and damages trust with international partners.
01:04It is possible to fight with corruption, so that more money will be used in our army.
01:09The more effective state will be used in our resources and will be less corruption,
01:14so that more money will be used in our resources.
01:16We can see it as President Ukraine, instead of being an example,
01:22being an example, being a locomotive in this history,
01:24to fight and demonstrate zero-tolerance to corruption.
01:27We now use our government resources to take control over criminal administrations of our community.
01:35Fighting corruption is a key condition for Ukraine's bid to join the European Union
01:40and to secure continued Western support as it defends against Russia's ongoing full-scale invasion.
01:47So that is the truth, and the truth is that we'll get into all this man's Bonjour.
01:53We'll tell us about it for you next time.
01:55We'll see you next time, we'll see you next time.
01:57We have a question.
01:59Well, the story will be brought to you in terms of the return of the EU.
