The Ukrainian army can be used to liberate territories occupied by Russians without a legal state of war, explained the People's Deputy.
The bill on the restoration of Ukraine's sovereignty over the Ordo provides for the replacement of the antiterrorist operation with the military. This was on his Facebook page written by MP from the People's Front faction, member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security and Defense Dmitry Tymchuk.
"A meeting of the working group on the finalization of the draft law" On the peculiarities of the state policy on the restoration of Ukraine's state sovereignty over the temporarily occupied territory of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Ukraine ", previously announced by the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Turchinov ... The work on the bill is coming to an end (some details are being agreed), we will soon see it in Rade ", - said Tymchuk.
According to him, the draft law, in fact, proposes to replace the existing format of the operation with "military operation, which is not run by the Security Service (as now in the ATO regime), but by the Operational Staff".
"The general management of the Operational Staff will be carried out by the President as the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, in matters of defense the leadership is also exercised by the General Staff. The president is given the right to decide how to use the forces and means of the Armed Forces in the operation, and to enlist other power structures, but under the overall leadership of the military, "the People's Deputy.
All the current civil-military administrations or military administrations, as Tymchuk noted, will also "shut themselves up" at the Operational Headquarters.
"The current" de facto war without war de jure "- and is the essence of Putin's" hybrid aggression ". On these realities we found no less "hybrid answer" in the form of this bill, when the Ukrainian army can be used to liberate territories occupied by Russians without the legal state of war with Russia, "explained Tymchuk.
According to him, the last straw was the "actual breakdown of Moscow by the Minsk process, when from the beginning of 2017 Russia recognized the" documents "of the LDPR, introduced the" ruble zone "in the occupied districts of Donbass, raked Ukrainian enterprises under the guise of" nationalization ".
"These steps of Russians force us to speed up the issue of recognition of these territories by the occupied. And reformatting the ATU, since the concepts of deoccupation and anti-terrorist operations are incompatible, "explained the People's Deputy.
Also, according to him, the bill allows you to enter martial law at the discretion of the president of Ukraine.
The People's Deputy stressed that the adoption of this bill in no case will mean the refusal of Ukraine from the Minsk accords.
"Ukraine, as before, relies on a politico-diplomatic way to resolve the conflict in the Donbass. However, to defend ourselves and force Russia to implement Minsk by any means is our sacred right and duty, "Tymchuk noted.

Recall that work on the draft law "On the peculiarities of the state policy for restoring Ukraine's state sovereignty over the temporarily occupied territory of Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Ukraine" will soon be completed, told the first vice-speaker of the parliament Irina Gerashchenko.
Chairman of the permanent delegation of Ukraine in PACE, MP Vladimir Ariev also supported the change in the format of the military operation in the Donbass.
