Zelenskyy is guarantees after the anti -corruption law – national star-news.press/wp

Opponents of a new law say that monitoring anti -corruption in Ukraine for their independence has called for a third consecutive day of street protests throughout the country, despite President Voludimir Zelinski’s attempts to defuse tension with promises of legislative guarantee.

After meeting with the heads of the main agencies to combat corruption and security in Ukraine, Zelinski promised to act based on their recommendations by submitting a bill for parliament that enhances the rule of law.

“It is extremely important: all the rules of the anti -corruption institutions will be valid,” Zelinski said at the night video title late Wednesday.

Zelinski admitted the controversy that resulted in the new corruption law, which also touched European Union officials and international rights groups.

“She does not fall on deaf ears,” Zelinski said of complaints. “We have analyzed all fears, and all aspects of what must be changed and what to escalate.”

However, it is no longer the abolition of the law that he approved.

The legislation adopted this week, despite Zelenskyy’s appeals to the veto against information technology, stressed government control over two main actions to combat corruption. Critics said that the move can significantly weaken the independence of these agencies and give the Zelinski circle a greater impact on the investigations.

The largest Russia army is speeding up its efforts to relax the defenses of the front line of Ukraine and escalate its bombing on the Ukrainian cities. Ukraine also faces a question mark on whether the United States will provide more military aid and whether European obligations can take a stagnation, without end to war on the horizon.

Delegations from Russia and Ukraine met in Istanbul for a third round of talks in several months on Wednesday. But again the conversations were short and did not achieve any major penetration.

Zelenskyy insisted earlier on Wednesday that the new legal framework is necessary to spend difficulty in corruption. Fighting corruption is very important for Ukraine aspirations to join the European Union and maintain reaching billions of dollars in Western aid in the war.

He said: “Criminal cases should not last for years without judgments, and those who work against Ukraine should not feel comfortable or fortified of punishment.”

Meanwhile, Russian aircraft fell from two strong bombs in the center of Kharkiv, the second largest city in Ukraine, on Thursday morning. He said that at least 16 people were wounded, including a 10 -year -old girl who had a severe stress reaction.

The authorities said that the southern or Ukrainian Odessa city in the center of Ukraine was also wounded overnight. Officials said that drones and missile strikes in cities were injured 11 people, including 9 years old, and damaged historical monuments and residential buildings.

Ukraine has sought to intensify long -term drone attacks on Russia, using local technology and manufacturing.

Local authorities said on Thursday that an attack on a Ukrainian drone at night at the Russian Black Sea Resort in Sochi killed two women and injured 11 other people.

Officials said the oil warehouse was injured, without providing details.
