German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has criticized a new Ukrainian law, stating it undermines the independence of anti-corruption agencies and will impede Ukraine's path to EU membership. The legislation has sparked protests within Ukraine, raising concerns about the government's commitment to reforms necessary for integration with the European Union. The controversial law targets the mechanisms designed to prevent corruption, which is a key requirement for EU accession. The situation is being closely monitored by international observers, including DW News, as it could affect future aid and political support.
