Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada at a Thursday session approved bill No. 1797-2 on insurance in its first reading.
A total of 242 lawmakers supported the document.
The author of the bill MP Maksym Poliakov said that all remarks and proposals will be taken into account during the preparation of the document for second reading.
"We are working under the law adopted in 2001… Now the insurance market is being destroyed. There are no regulations… We are losing precious time for our development," he said.
