schema:articleBody	Ukrainian lawmakers have reinstated an anti-corruption law that was part of a number of bills blocked by the constitutional court, sparking an uproar in the ex-Soviet country. In late October Ukraine's constitutional court ruled that a batch of anti-graft laws including on free public access to officials' declarations were unconstitutional. The move was sharply denounced by anti-corruption campaigners and Ukraine's Western backers. It was also criticised by President Volodymyr Zelensky, who described the move as a "devastating" blow, and called on lawmakers to prepare bills to restore the legislation. Ukraine's parliament on Friday voted to reinstate a law that bans listing false information on state officials' asset declarations. The majority of the votes for came from lawmakers representing Zelensky's Servant of the People party. The legislation, which is expected to be signed into law by Zelensky, would carry penalties of up to two years in prison for officials whose declared assets differ from their true amount by more than 8.4 million hryvnia ($300,000). Zelensky, a 42-year-old former comedian, came to power last year pledging sweeping political change and to root out corruption. Rooting out graft was also one of protesters' top demands during a pro-European uprising in 2013-2014 and remains one of Western donors' main demands. After the popular uprising authorities launched various anti-graft bodies such as the National Agency for Preventing Corruption and the specialised court. But the European Union has warned that its visa-free regime for Ukraine could be suspended if Kiev does not do enough to combat corruption, considered by the bloc to be the country's top risk. Last year Ukraine ranked 126th out of 198 countries on the Transparency International watchdog's corruption perception index. dg/emg
