The parliamentary committee recommended renaming seven districts, 15 Ukrainian cities, 56 towns, and 263 villages.
The Verkhovna Rada failed to vote for a resolution to rename more than 300 settlements and districts. 208 representatives of the people voted in favor of the required 261 votes. People’s Deputy Alexey Goncharenko reported this on Telegram on Wednesday, September 18.
According to him, that is why the people’s representatives decided to block the Rada rostrum and insist on having a conciliation council and resubmit this resolution for consideration. At 12:20, parliamentarians went to a reconciliation council.
Draft resolution 3939-IX talks about the renaming of geographical objects in relation to the need to bring the names of such geographical objects into compliance with the requirements of the law Condemning and banning the propaganda of Russian imperial policy in Ukraine and the decolonization of toponymy.
