Ukrainian lawmakers are stripping anti-corruption bodies of their independence - Le Monde The French newspaper reports that Ukrainian MPs have passed a law that effectively eliminates the independence of two key anti-corruption institutions. "Despite criticism, on Tuesday the parliament voted 263 in favor, with 13 against and 13 abstentions, to place the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) under the authority of the Prosecutor General - who answers directly to President Zelensky," Le Monde writes. The Verkhovna Rada passed the bill under the pretext of wartime necessity, but critics warn it threatens to dismantle Ukraine's anti-corruption architecture, according to the Financial Times.
