The President of Ukraine held a conversation with the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, Ruslan Stefanchuk. During the conversation, the President emphasized the need to ratify the agreement on the establishment of a Special Tribunal for the crime of aggression against Ukraine, unblock the law on multiple citizenship, and Ukraine's withdrawal from the Ottawa Convention.
Zelenskyy stated this in his evening address, as reported by UNN.
Details
Today I spoke with the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine – it is necessary to ratify the agreement on the establishment of a tribunal regarding Russian aggression, also unblock the signing of the law on multiple citizenship, and formalize Ukraine's withdrawal from the Ottawa Convention on mines. I am grateful to all people's deputies of Ukraine who support these and other necessary decisions, and it is important to vote on them in the near future
Addition
In June, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted in its entirety the law on the introduction of the institution of multiple citizenship in Ukraine. Subsequently, a resolution was submitted to parliament to cancel the decision of the Verkhovna Rada on the adoption of the law on the introduction of the institution of multiple citizenship in Ukraine.
The resolution states that the adoption of the bill occurred in violation of the requirements of the Verkhovna Rada Regulations, in particular, Part 1 of Article 117, which provides that a bill prepared for the second reading, the conclusion of the main committee, and other accompanying documents thereto shall be provided to people's deputies no later than ten days before the day of consideration of this bill.
However, the specified documents regarding the version of the bill that was put to a vote were provided to the people's deputies of Ukraine only on June 13, i.e., 5 days before the consideration of the bill at the plenary session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. As a result, the people's deputies of Ukraine were deprived of the opportunity to properly study and prepare for the consideration of the bill, which could have resulted in the failure to take into account a number of amendments to this bill
