Ukrainian Gen-Z's Cardboard Revolution Forces Zelenskyy's U-Turn

Ukrainian Gen-Z's Cardboard Revolution Forces Zelenskyy's U-Turn

In Ukraine, young people (Gen Z) started protesting using cardboard signs to protect their anti-corruption bodies.

These bodies help keep the government honest.

A new law was proposed that would have given politicians control over these bodies, which the protesters didn't like.

They used funny signs with pop culture references to get their message out.

Many people supported them.

The President heard them and signed a new law to make sure the anti-corruption bodies stay independent.

Now, the protesters want more changes so Ukraine can join the EU.
