A blocking resolution on bill No. 8312, which provides for an amendment on the resumption of military surcharges, was submitted to the Verkhovna Rada for consideration. Yaroslav Zheleznyak, People's Deputy, announced this on Telegram..

“Until this resolution is considered in the hall, the speaker does not have the right to sign the law,” the parliamentarian explained the situation.. – “But this will not happen in the coming weeks due to the schedule of the meeting of the Rada”.

Resolution No. 8312-P, which Yaroslav Zheleznyak is talking about, most likely does not have much chance of being adopted. After all, the bill, which it proposes to cancel, collected 277 votes in parliament in favor, with one vote against. So the blocking decree is probably pursuing a purely technical goal - just to play for time while the state leadership finds out if it has the means to resume payments..

According to Zheleznyak’s calculations, in order to return additional payments of 30 thousand to the military, somewhere around UAH 150 billion is needed per year.. The source proposed in the bill - the limitation of salaries for state employees in the amount of UAH 65,000 - can give no more than UAH 3 billion.

Fyodor Venislavsky, a representative of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence, a representative of the President in Parliament, also expressed his doubts about the resumption of additional payments..

“Now it is very difficult to make any forecasts on the implementation of the relevant decision. It is accepted and needs the signature of the President.

We will see what decision the President makes,” he said in a comment to Ukrinform..

Like Yaroslav Zheleznyak, Fyodor Venislavsky believes that in order to resume additional payments, it is necessary to find additional sources of funding. A blocking order can be a plausible reason for the delay necessary to find the necessary funds or find out that they are not..

Earlier it was reported which of the military can count on assistance in solving social and domestic issues.
