Deputy Prime Minister for Temporarily Occupied Territories and Internally Displaced Persons of Ukraine Heorhiy Tuka has predicted that the Verkhovna Rada will adopt the bill on mine action by the end of this autumn.

"I hope that according to the Verkhovna Rada's rules of procedure, this bill may become a law before the end of this autumn," Tuka said at a round table discussion "Topical issues of ensuring mine safety and humanitarian demining in Ukraine" in Kyiv on Thursday.

He noted that the adoption of the bill would be preceded by its public discussion.

As reported, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Ukraine stated that international organizations hope for the speedy adoption by Ukraine of the law on mine action.
