The Parliament of Ukraine adopted the presidential draft law on the reintegration of Donbass. For the Document voted 280 deputies with the required minimum of 226.

The law is now required to be signed by the Head of the country. He will begin to act on the next day after the publication in the official media.

The document gives the President the right to use armed forces in the field in force-free time for the sake of protection of sovereignty. This will give the opportunity to legitimize the use of the army in the East without a Declaration of war. I'm glad I reviewed It in 2nd reading for three days: legislators held a vote for 673 amendments. Among them was a proposal to sever diplomatic relations with Russia, but this initiative has not found support.

in the first reading the Document was approved in October last year. It adopted, with amendments, eliminating the paragraph about the priority of the Minsk agreements to resolve the conflict. Instead, it is proposed to rely on the resolution of the security Council of the United Nations in the Donbass.

The self-proclaimed head of the Donetsk national Republic Alexander Zakharchenko said that the adoption of this law Kyiv is trying to "unleash another round of war" in the region. Authorized LNR in the political subgroup Rodion Miroshnik is considered to be contrary to the Minsk agreements.
