The bill "On the peculiarities of the state policy to ensure the state sovereignty of Ukraine in the temporarily occupied territories in Donetsk and Luhansk regions" provides for the restoration of trade with uncontrolled territories under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Deputy Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Oksana Syroyid has said.

"It's about restoring trade with the occupied territories and this is confirmed by the fact that there are calls: let's count our losses from trade with the occupied territories ... The huge danger lies in the fact that the army should trade, that is, the military will be controlled by the Armed Forces, the operational headquarters and the so-called commander of the united forces. I think this is a huge tragedy for the Armed Forces, as trade and the Armed Forces are incompatible," Syroyid said on TV Channel 5.
