In particular, the people's deputies after the opening of the session began to consider the draft resolution on the cancellation of the decision of the Verkhovna Rada on the adoption of the law "On the peculiarities of the state policy to ensure the state sovereignty of Ukraine over temporarily occupied territories in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions". For the relevant decision, only 37 deputies voted out of the required 226.
Thus, now the parliament has unblocked the possibility for the head of the parliament, Andrei Parubia, to raise the law on the reintegration of Donbass. As reported by URA-Inform, the parliament passed a law on the reintegration of Donbass on January 18, 2017.
The law fixes the provision that Ukraine is not responsible for the actions of Russia, its armed forces, other military formations and the occupation administration in the temporarily occupied territories of Donbass.
In addition, in relation to Russia, the document uses the term "aggressor state", and the occupation administration is defined as the armed forces, other military formations, Russian state bodies and self-proclaimed bodies under its control.
