Cabinet, presidential administration prepare draft law on restoration strategy of Ukraine's territorial integrity
The draft law on the occupied territories initiated by the Samopomich faction (No. 3593-d) is unacceptable. The presidential administration and the Cabinet of Ministers are developing a draft law on the restoration of Ukraine's territorial integrity, People's Deputy from the People's Front faction Anton Gerashchenko has said.
"I do not accept this bill." Frequently, certain parties, including opposition parties, are making a bill to create an informational excuse, not caring about the real benefits or reality of the implementation of this bill. Therefore, there will be a bill agreed upon by the Cabinet as the supreme executive body," he told journalists in Kyiv on Tuesday.
According to Gerashchenko, such a legislative initiative will be introduced to the parliament in the near future.
"The bill is currently being drafted in the Cabinet of Ministers and the presidential administration. This law should have been adopted long ago. I would not call it about the occupied territories, but a law on the restoration of territorial integrity, and it is necessary to write down [there] which stages we will continue performing so that we have economic, energy and information independence from the Russian Federation. And we are still dependent on it," Gerashchenko said.
Answering the question of journalists, whether the bill will solve the blockade issue, the MP noted, "If the state policy is understandable for the society and citizens, blockades will not be necessary."
