Zheleznyak expects the following changes to be made to the draft law before the second reading:

Recall
In February, the Verkhovna Rada failed to support in the first reading a draft law that sets requirements for members of the competition commission for the election of the director of the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine and the mandatory use of a polygraph before appointment to the position in the agency. After that, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on the Verkhovna Rada to adopt the draft law as soon as possible.
