Thousands of people gathered in Kyiv and other cities across Ukraine to urge President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to veto a controversial bill that threatens the country's anti-corruption infrastructure.  

It marked the first major rally against the government in more than three years of war.

On Tuesday, Ukraine's parliament passed legislation that will tighten oversight of two key anti-corruption agencies.  

Critics say this could significantly weaken their independence and give the president's circle greater sway over investigations.

Zelenskyy signed the bill into law.

Fighting corruption is crucial for Ukraine's bid to join the European Union and maintain access to billions of dollars in Western aid.
