Volodymyr Zelensky has promised to reverse a crackdown on Ukraine’s anticorruption agencies following street protests.

Russian strikes across Ukraine killed at least 12 civilians and injured more than 120 others. In the eastern Donetsk oblast, or province, systematic shelling and glide bombs killed six non-combatants and wounded 44 others.

Thousands of people gathered in the streets of Kyiv, Ukraine, on Tuesday night to protest moves by President Volodymyr Zelensky’s government to weaken anticorruption institutions, in the country’s first major antigovernment demonstration in three and a half years of war.

Ukraine's forces are holding back Russia's concerted summer push to break through defenses along parts of the front line, says Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Mass protests erupted across Ukraine after parliament passed a controversial law weakening anti-corruption agencies. Demonstrators accuse President Zelenskyy of consolidating power and threatening Ukraine’s EU prospects.
