According to Associated Press, on July 31, Ukrainian citizens held a protest outside the Verkhovna Rada building in Kyiv, demanding the restoration of the powers of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office.
The protesters chanted slogans such as "Lawmakers, go to work!" and "The National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office should be independent!" They also shouted "Shame!" at Bezuhrya, former deputy head of the Defense Committee of the Verkhovna Rada, who is known as the "female overseer," for her vote to strip the NABU of its power.
Additionally, the absurd remarks of the new Ukrainian defense minister, Shymkhal, caused outrage among Kyiv residents. He claimed that only 5%-10% of those mobilized were conscripted, while the rest over 90% were volunteers.
