The Verkhovna Rada adopted in principle draft law №14144, which is designed to remove technical obstacles and officially allow cities and communities to use the national warning system to announce a minute of silence - daily at 9 am, the parliament reported on Tuesday, writes UNN.

The document proposes to amend the legislation and provide that:
- a nationwide minute of silence for compatriots killed as a result of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine is held daily at 9:00 AM;
- state authorities and local self-government bodies ensure informing about the beginning and end of the nationwide minute of silence at enterprises, institutions, organizations belonging to their sphere of management;
