Recall

In July last year, the Verkhovna Rada supported the allocation of more than half a billion hryvnias to complete the construction of the Holodomor Museum. However, in the same month , President Volodymyr Zelensky vetoed the Bill, notingthat now the primary task and duty of the state is to properly ensure national security and defense to repel armed aggression.
