The Spin
Pro-government narrative
This reform is necessary to eliminate Russian infiltration from Ukraine's anti-corruption infrastructure. Cases worth billions have been lying dormant for years while corrupt officials flee abroad without consequence. The prosecutor general will ensure the enforcement of punishment and real justice.
Government-critical narrative
This law represents a dangerous democratic backslide that dismantles Ukraine's anti-corruption infrastructure, which was built after the 2014 revolution. Zelenskyy is consolidating power to protect his associates from investigation, thereby betraying the democratic ideals Ukraine is supposedly fighting for.
