In Kiev presented the draft law on “the Donbas’s territories uncontrolled by Kiev”

On the basis of the signals obtained from Kiev it was expected that the Ukrainian Parliament will present a bill on the introduction of martial law in Ukraine or in some parts of it. But instead, the Vice-speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Oksana Syroid presented the draft “Law on the temporarily occupied territory” in which the Russian Federation is identified as the occupier, reports RIA Novosti, citing the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. “Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Oksana Syroid presented on Wednesday the draft law on the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. According to Syroid, the draft law stipulates that Russia is an occupant and it was registered, what territories are occupied,” stated in the message. It is noted that the bill contains some information about the so-called “Russian occupation”: start date of the “capture territories” was specified, restrictive measures on the movement of people and goods in the territory not controlled by Kiev were introduced, features and instructions of functioning of local governments and peculiarities of legal regime of the military regime in the territories “liberated from the occupation”. According to the report, the draft law contains provisions designed to ensure the restoration of law and order, including on territories of the Donbass, controlled by Kiev. Recall that the current leadership of Ukraine is constantly accused Russia of encroachment on the territorial integrity of the country. Kiev does not agree with the results of a referendum held in the spring of 2014 in the Crimea, according to the results of which the Peninsula seceded from the Ukrainian state and after became a subject of the Russian Federation. Ukrainian authorities called this action the annexation and insist that Moscow allegedly “seized the Crimea by military means”. In addition, the Ukrainian representatives accused Russia that it allegedly intervened in the Donbass and has deployed its military contingent there. At the same time, all accusations of Russian military presence in the Donbass are unsubstantiated – no one until now could not present concrete facts, despite repeated accusations and the presence of monitoring missions of the OSCE on the territory of the People’s Republics of the Donbass. Besides, Kiev has not made any official military claims to the neighboring state and has not stopped as diplomatic so economic cooperation.
