Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy quickly reversed course last month on a law that would have curbed the independence of the country’s anti-corruption watchdogs after widespread protests that threatened the stability of his leadership for the first time since Russia’s invasion.

Public trust in Zelenskyy fell to its lowest level in around six months following rare wartime protests, a leading Kyiv pollster said on Wednesday.

Zelenskyy noted that during the conversation, they shared details of their recent contacts with other world leaders. He emphasized that it is important for Ukraine that its partners — particularly in Europe — are informed about the situation.
