On a practical level, this decision will weaken the not very active fight against corruption as it is, and will also add problems for Kyiv with international partners. In recent years, they have insisted on increasing the fight in these areas.

So what does the CCU decision actually mean, and how hard will it "hit" Ukrainians? Rubryka explains.
