The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has extended the moratorium on farmland sales at least until 2018.

A total of 297 lawmakers voted for this decision on Thursday.

Batkivschyna faction leader Yulia Tymoshenko suggested prolonging the moratorium for at least five years, but said that if her proposal gets no support, the moratorium should be extended at least for a year.
