Zelensky calls on the Verkhovna Rada to meet immediately to consider the defense legislative package
Kyiv • UNN
The President called on the Rada to meet immediately to consider the defense package. The issues include trophy weapons, citizenship of foreign legionnaires, and depriving traitors of state awards.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on the Verkhovna Rada to convene immediately to consider a defense legislative package, including issues related to the regulation of trophy weapons, citizenship of foreigners fighting in Ukrainian legions, and deprivation of state awards to traitors, UNN reports .
Now, in August, we need to strengthen some of our country's legal positions. It's time to adopt important legislative things - a defense legislative package for Ukraine. These are decisions that will help Ukrainian soldiers, the entire Ukrainian society, and our state institutions
The first question, according to him, concerns the Ukrainian military, who are participating in the Kursk operation.
We must clearly guarantee at the legislative level that our soldiers who take part in the Kursk operation, for example, and who will take part in all our other actions on the territory of the aggressor state, will receive absolutely all payments and preferences provided for the front line

Secondly, he said, every soldier who defends the Ukrainian state, defends Ukrainian people, defends independence deserves recognition and maximum support.
"This applies, in particular, to those of our soldiers - Ukrainian legionnaires - who currently have citizenship of other countries, but not yet of Ukraine. They deserve to be our citizens, citizens of Ukraine. It is also fair to extend this to their families, to the families of our heroes. The third solution. The issue of trophy weapons that our soldiers win in battles must be settled. We must resolve this issue," Zelenskyy said.
In addition, Zelenskyy emphasized that traitors who fled to Russia after February 24. Collaborators working for the war. All criminals who have joined the service of the Russian state should be deprived of any ranks and awards in Ukraine, and this should be done in a real way, so that the decision to deprive them of awards is not just declarative, but actually records how Ukraine treats such a person.
"And I ask the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine to meet to consider these issues urgently in the near future," Zelensky emphasized.
Zelensky added that in addition to these decisions, there are some other equally important legislative initiatives that strengthen independence, including spiritual independence, as well as government work to implement them.
"All this should be done really quickly," Zelensky said.
