Editorial: Zelensky just betrayed Ukraine's democracy — and everyone fighting for it
Last week, we warned of a coming anti-democratic backslide. Now, we see it happening.
Under the new law, the prosecutor general, a notoriously non-independent figure, will now oversee anti-corruption investigations — in a complete overturn of the system that was set up to be independent from other law enforcement bodies.
In reality, it means that Zelensky’s office will be able to stop investigations with a phone call.
It also closely follows an escalated prosecution of Ukraine’s best-known anti-corruption activist, an outspoken critic of Zelensky.
Before you straight up downvote this after reading just the headline you should know that Kyiv Independent is highly credible and staffed with reputable journalists.

For those out of the loop, KyivIndependent is a heavily Western leaning pro-Ukraine news outlet.
Wow the Ukraine media is pro ukraine? Who'd've thought?
lemmy's "general interest" instances are filled with title-only-reacting redditors and it shows.
Hey, they also react on who post this and the source, when the same info just with way less inflammatory headline was posted by someone who is not western shill from something that isn't just CIA media front, it was like -30 votes lol.
Also, it's starting, Zelensky's getting demythologised by even western aligned media prior to his inevitable downfall. Just like us commies said long ago, but libs were frothing at mouth then.
We have redditors among us?
True, sometimes whole threads in a heated discussion, that revolves around assumptions they have about the title.
Hold your horses, at least skim over the article, fucking redditors /s
This is an editorial though, it has nothing to do with their journalists.
Editorial by The Kyiv Independent. That is their jounalists.
yeah I sorta wish the news communities did not allow editorials. I mean im pretty sure they would not allow people to just post about their opinion of some news.
