Head of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine's Committee on Humanitarian Policy, MP from the Servant of the People party, Mykyta Poturaev, stated that President Volodymyr Zelensky's position on law 8371 remains unchanged - it needs to be passed as soon as possible. He announced this during a Radio Liberty broadcast.
Poturaev mentioned that earlier this year, when he met with Zelensky, the President made it clear in the presence of witnesses that due to the challenging political climate, the law needs to be introduced to the session hall and passed quickly.
"The President's position, as far as I know, has not changed and remains unchanged. But I am aware that certain individuals came to the Office (of the President) from outside and tried to misinform the President: to lie to him that this law benefits 'European Solidarity'. However, Volodymyr Oleksandrovych is very adept at distinguishing lies from truth, and, as far as I know, this did not affect him in any way," concluded the MP.
As reported by the UOJ, the State Service of Ukraine for Ethnopolitics and Freedom of Conscience stated that draft law 8371, which the Rada passed in the first reading, was supplemented with a number of "legislative spam and blatant nonsense" by the second reading.
