The ban on travel will also affect local deputies – this may force women deputies to refuse work in local councils in order to be able to take their children abroad or visit them there.
People’s Deputy servant Vitaly Bezgin proposes that the Cabinet of Ministers lift the ban on women so that the country does not experience “destruction of the local self-government system.”
On this occasion, Vitaly Bezgin, a member of the profile committee for the organization of state power and local self-government, turned to Prime Minister Denis Shmyhal.
Recall that at the end of January, the government made changes to the rules for crossing the border during martial law. If earlier travel abroad was prohibited for men of military age and military personnel, now certain categories of civilian women are also banned. We are talking about women civil servants and deputies of councils at all levels. This is stated in the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of January 27.
Men – officials and deputies under 60 years old, and so did not have the right to leave as liable for military service. Now, deputies and officials over 60 years old will not be able to leave.
Both men and women are now banned. Here is a complete list of positions where men and women must obtain permission when crossing the border:
-
members of the Cabinet of Ministers, first deputies and deputy ministers, state secretary of the Cabinet of Ministers, his first deputy and deputies, state secretaries of ministries,
-
heads of central executive bodies, their first deputies and deputies,
-
Head of the apparatus of the Verkhovna Rada, his first deputy and deputies, people’s deputies, the Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada for human rights and his representatives,
