The right to own weapons for Ukrposhta staff: Parliament plans to consider the bill soon
Kyiv • UNN
Ukrposhta employees will have the right to carry and use firearms to protect postal funds and facilities, subject to special training and strict conditions, according to a draft law that will be reconsidered by the Verkhovna Rada with proposals from President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
At its next meeting, the Verkhovna Rada plans to reconsider the draft law that would grant Ukrposhta staff the right to bear and use weapons, with proposals from President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This was reported by UNN with reference to draft law No. 8423 and the draft agenda of the Verkhovna Rada meeting.
Details
According to the draft law, Ukrposhta employees will have the right to use firearms to protect their funds. It is noted that Ukrposhta employees will have the right to own weapons only if they have undergone appropriate special training.
Employees will be able to use weapons only in exceptional cases: to repel an attack on postal service personnel in case of a threat to their life or health; to repel a group or armed attack on postal facilities to ensure the safety of funds.
An employee of the postal security unit of the designated postal operator is authorized to use firearms only after being warned of the need to stop illegal actions and the intention to use weapons
However, according to the draft law, the use of firearms without warning is allowed under the following conditions: in the event of an armed attack, as well as a sudden attack with the use of vehicles or other means that threaten human life or health; to stop an attempt to seize firearms.
In case of harm to the life or health of a person as a result of the use of firearms, an employee of the postal security unit of the designated postal operator is obliged to immediately provide him/her with first aid, call for medical assistance, take measures to ensure the protection of the scene and immediately notify his/her immediate supervisor and the National Police of Ukraine
It is noted that the list of positions of Ukrposhta employees who are granted the right to carry and use firearms is determined by the Ministry of Infrastructure in consultation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
AddendumAddendum
Draft Law No. 8423 was passed in the second reading on November 22 last year. However, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy vetoed the draft law and returned it to the Rada with his proposals. At that time, the draft law, which was approved by the deputies, stated that in order to protect postal facilities, postal items and funds (including during transportation and delivery), postal operators' personnel who have undergone special training are granted the right to carry and use weapons, self-defense and personal protective equipment.
The list of positions that would be authorized to carry weapons would be determined by the Ministry of Infrastructure in consultation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. And the Cabinet of Ministers would have to establish the procedure for special training, acquisition, storage, accounting, application and use of weapons, self-defense and personal protection equipment.
