Minister of Culture and Information Policy Oleksandr Tkachenko expects that the Verkhovna Rada will soon adopt the law on the capital at the second reading.

"I took part in local elections. I voted at my polling station in Kyiv. I hope that local communities will receive worthy representatives in the government," Tkachenko wrote on his Telegram channel on Sunday.

The minister also complained that the Verkhovna Rada did not have time to vote for the law on the capital at the second reading.

In his opinion, this law would radically change the opportunities, in particular, for the people of Kyiv to participate in the city's self-government, as well as restore the district and local councils and allow the community to receive much more powers, including control over the activities of the authorities.

"However, I think that the parliament will be able to return to this issue in the near future," Tkachenko added.
