Ukraine’s latest political drama ended with what felt almost like an anticlimax. In two swift readings on July 31st, Ukraine’s parliament, the Rada, passed a bill restoring the full independence of the country’s anti-corruption bodies. The ballot was all but unanimous: 331 deputies voted for the bill; nine abstained. None dared vote against it. The enthusiasm was striking, given that most of the MPs had taken the opposite position just nine days earlier.
