The Popular Front Faction is proposing that the Parliament adopt the Law on Registration of Foreign Agents like the law that is in force in the United States. This was stated by the head of the faction Maxim Burbak during the Conciliation Board, "the" Main "reports with reference to the party press service.

"We believe that the media or non-governmental organizations that, according to this law, will be recognized as foreign agents, will be obliged to inform permanently the citizens of Ukraine that they are acting in the interests of a foreign state. We propose that such a law should concern exclusively foreign agents who directly or indirectly act in the interests of the aggressor state, which is the Russian Federation, "Maxim Burbak stressed..

He noted that on the eve of the electoral process such a law should become one of the fuses from the influence of the Kremlin.

"The country is part of the electoral process. We must admit that in Ukraine there is a ramified network of disguised and explicit Russian agents. They take control of television channels and other media, juggle with their political pawns, and Rossotrudnichestvo produces here a lot of supposedly public organizations independent of anyone except Russia, "said the leader of the Popular Front faction,.

Maxim Burbak stressed that in Ukraine and in the West the Kremlin uses democratic freedoms and institutions for sabotage, which are covered by democracy in order to spread chaos and confrontation.

"People's Front" initiates the development of a bill similar to the United States law since 1938 "On the registration of foreign agents". It should become, among other things, one of the fuses from the Kremlin's influence on the elections in Ukraine.

In 1938, the US law was passed against the aggressive attempts of Hitler's propaganda to influence the public opinion of Americans on the eve of World War II. In 2017, in accordance with this law, the government of America forced the Kremlin channel "Russia Today", which is disguised as an independent media, to register as a foreign agent, "the head of the faction.

Maxim Burbak noted that the parliamentary Committee for National Security and Defense, along with deputies from all interested factions, must urgently develop and submit for consideration by the Verkhovna Rada such a bill.
