The draft law on the de-occupation of Ukrainian territories was promulgated. It is a pity that Ukraine itself did not include provisions on the de-occupation of Crimea in this draft law. Crimea in the project is not even mentioned at all. Actually, Putin sought to do this - to force the West and Ukraine to consider the Crimea and the war in the Donbas separately. It seems that he did it.

The definition of the occupied territory is too detailed in the text of the draft. It would be sufficient simply to point out that we are talking about the territory of Ukraine controlled by Russia, its troops and mercenaries.

Article 3 states that the state policy for restoring Ukraine's sovereignty is based on "universally recognized principles and norms of international law". It is not clear from this formulation whether it is "generally recognized principles of international law", as well as other norms of international law (for example, treaties), or "universally recognized norms of international law".

Article 4, which deals with the objectives of state policy for the restoration of Ukraine's sovereignty, should certainly include such important goals as bringing to justice all the participants in Russia's aggression against Ukraine, as well as the need to obtain fair and full compensation from Russia for all of its Crimes on the territory of Ukraine.

Article 7 is unclear why and why it establishes the "priority" of the implementation of the provisions of the Minsk Protocol. This is rather strange, considering at least that the nature of the Minsk agreements is unclear, that is, they can be viewed as political, not legal agreements.

At the end of article 6, it states that "the state of Ukraine is not responsible for the unlawful actions of the Russian Federation as an aggressor state and illegal armed groups controlled by it" in the territory of Donbass. There are questions.

For example, who is responsible then? Why not immediately put responsibility on Russia, which would be correct. And what does it mean that it is not responsible for "unlawful actions"? And for not "unlawful" actions bears or not? Or is not responsible for any actions?.

In short, the project is crude and is more declarative in nature.
