It is designed to remove technical obstacles and officially allow cities and communities to use the national alert system to announce a moment of silence - daily at 9 a.m.
As MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak explained, "this is the establishment at the legislative level of a nationwide moment of silence as a daily commemorative event."
"Before the second reading, a norm was added that every year, on the fourth Saturday of November at 4:00 p.m., there will be a nationwide moment of silence and the 'Light a Candle' action, in memory of the victims of the Holodomor of 1932–1933," Zheleznyak also indicated on social networks.
