The Anticorruption Watchdogs at the Center of Protests Against Zelensky
Thousands of people in Ukraine for a second night turned out to protest President Volodymyr Zelensky's bid to control the country's anticorruption agencies, even as he promised to walk back some of the policies that had touched off the street action. The surge of anger, with protesters toting profanity-laced signs directed at Mr. Zelensky and his top advisers, underscores the pivotal role of those watchdog agencies in Ukraine's politics and the sensitive issues they investigate. None are more fraught than alleged schemes to embezzle from military budgets. Military spending in Ukraine is drawn from the country's tax revenues and is not tied to the flow of weaponry donated by Western allies. Since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, the anticorruption agencies have scrutinized such spending, Balazs Jarabik, a former European Union diplomat and founder of Minority Report, a political risk consultancy, said in an interview. And over the more than three years of the war, criminal cases have sprung from those investigations, enraging Ukrainians. On Tuesday, Mr. Zelensky signed into law a bill giving Ukraine's prosecutor general — who is approved by Parliament, where Mr. Zelensky's party holds a majority — new power over the two agencies, the National Anticorruption Bureau of Ukraine and the Specialized Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office.

Russia's Putin joins mourners to pay respects to ex-classmate and top judge
Russia's Putin joins mourners to pay respects to ex-classmate and top judge MOSCOW (Reuters) -President Vladimir Putin joined mourners on Thursday to say farewell to his former classmate Irina Podnosova, the head of Russia's Supreme Court, who died earlier this week aged 71. Putin looked sad and pensive as he sat alongside members of Podnosova's family in a Moscow hospital where her open casket was placed on display, flanked by an honour guard, for people to pay their final respects. Putin placed a bouquet of red flowers at the foot of her coffin, crossed himself, and bowed his head over the open casket before talking to her family. Putin, 72, and Podnosova were fellow law students in the 1970s in Leningrad, now St Petersburg, where the future president launched his career in the KGB security service. Podnosova was one of several trusted associates from that period who took on senior roles in politics and the judiciary after he became president. Podnosova had been chair of the Supreme Court for little more than a year. She died of cancer, Russian media reported. Solve the daily Crossword
