The Verkhovna Rada adopted Law No. 3528-IX on December 21, 2023. The next day, people’s deputies from the parliamentary faction All-Ukrainian Association “Batkivshchyna” registered in parliament a draft resolution to cancel the Rada’s decision regarding the adoption of this law, which blocked the signing of the law by the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada and the President.
