The Verkhovna Rada rejected Decree 2987-P on the abolition of voting results for the ban of the St. George's ribbon. In the hall there were 19 votes in favor with the minimum required 226 votes.

Now the speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, Andrey Parubiy, will be able to sign a bill on fines for wearing this symbol, notes 112.

Recall May 16, the Verkhovna Rada voted to ban the St. George ribbon in Ukraine, but the next day the deputies from the faction "Oppobloka" made draft resolutions to abolish the results of voting. According to the regulations, while the Rada does not consider them, the law can not be sent to the president for signature.

Thus, today's decision of the Council removed the last obstacle for signing this law.

The law on the St.

George's ribbon introduces into the Code of Administrative Offenses article 173-3 entitled "Manufacturing and propaganda of the St. George's (Guards) ribbon".

For a public demonstration or carrying a tape, a penalty of 50-150 non-taxable minimums (UAH 850-2550). In case of repeated misconduct within one year - from 150 to 300 non-taxable minimums (2550-5100 hryvnia) and administrative arrest for up to 15 days.

At the same time, the document provides for a number of exceptions. In particular, it does not concern veterans of the Second World War and their awards.
