Ukraine parliament to vote on law to restore powers of anti-corruption bodies

Move follows protests in Ukrainian cities over bill passed last week that curtailed independence of two bodies

Ukraine's parliament will vote on a new law on Thursday that would restore independence to two anti-corruption bodies, backtracking on a law passed last week that curtailed their powers and led to a political crisis.

Last week's legal changes prompted rare wartime street protests against the president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and accusations that the presidential office was trying to protect powerful associates from anti-corruption investigations.
