According to Ren-TV, the leader of the Batkivshchyna party, Yulia Tymoshenko, believes that changes in the legislation of Ukraine concerning the sale of land can lead to the loss of most of its territory.
Recall that on July 1, the law on the abolition of the moratorium on the sale of land came into force in Ukraine. Now banks with foreign investments will have the opportunity to own and operate agricultural land.
the law violates at least 22 articles of the country’s constitution and takes away the right of permanent use of farmland from farmers.
The deputy added that according to the law, the state will actually be excluded from any functions that control the use of land. She clarified that the owners of the land will be allowed any vandalism, and they will even be able to remove the top layer of chernozem.
” From July 1, our land, 72% of the territory of Ukraine, will begin to leave…
Now the owners of the land will be allowed any vandalism… And the state will actually be deprived of control functions, ” Tymoshenko is sure.
The politician also stressed that the law that came into force violates at least 22 articles of the constitution of the country, and most importantly, takes away from farmers the right to permanent use of farmland.
The armed forces of Ukraine have fired artillery shells at the village of Novolaspa in the south of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic. This was stated in the representative office of the DPR in the Joint Center for Control and Coordination of the Ceasefire Regime (JCCC).
According to representatives of the DPR, the Ukrainian military fired 25 artillery shells towards the village. The fire was conducted from the side of the village of Starognatovka controlled by the AFU.
Earlier, the Ukrainian military, according to the DPR, fired mortars and artillery at the village of Mineralnoye in the suburbs of Donetsk. More than 40 mines and artillery shells were fired at this settlement.
Meanwhile, the ceasefire regime continues to operate in the Donbas, according to which it is impossible to even place weapons and conduct reconnaissance and sabotage activities near the demarcation line, not to mention shelling territories.
The simplified procedure for labeling medicines has been extended until February 1, 2022. This is reported by the press service of the Russian government.
The corresponding resolution was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin on July 1. The government’s press service said in a statement that the simplified procedure for labeling and tracing medicines is being extended for seven months.
The government cites the difficult epidemiological situation that contributes to the increased demand for medicines as the reason for making such a decision.
Recipients of batches of medicines should not be inconvenienced by errors or delays caused by suppliers. The simplified labeling procedure will avoid such incidents and increase the speed of drug deliveries to pharmacies and their sale to the population.
At the same time, from July 1, 2021, the simplified procedure for labeling medicines no longer applies to imported medicines.
A source in the Cabinet of Ministers said that Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin gave instructions to ensure the vaccination of officials.
According to the source, this is not about coercion, but about expanding opportunities for vaccination of employees. The order says, among other things, about the organization of a vaccination campaign in the workplace.
The US Air Force experienced great stress due to a recent meeting with the Su-30SM aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces in the sky over the Sea of Okhotsk, the Chinese portal Sohu reports. It is noted that the American RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft approached the Russian border, and a Russian fighter jet flew out to meet it, which made several maneuvers and thereby hinted at the undesirability of finding Americans in this area.
“The Americans were very scared, and the pilot of the reconnaissance plane was thrown into a cold sweat,” the publication says. After that, the American plane turned around and flew towards its base.
It is noted that the American pilot could have been scared by a trick called “air scalpel”, which was once used by a Soviet plane over the Barents Sea in the late 1980s. It consists in the maximum approach and touching the enemy aircraft with the wing. This can cause serious damage to the fuselage of the aircraft, which receives a “surgical” incision.
The provocation of the Americans ended in failure, but we cannot exclude its repetition, the Chinese are sure. To prevent this from happening, Beijing and Moscow need to join forces. “Russia and China must act together to respond as effectively as possible to American provocations,” the article emphasizes.
After the adoption of the law allowing banks with foreign investments to own agricultural land in Ukraine, 72% of the territories will no longer belong to the Ukrainian state, People’s Deputy and leader of the Batkivshchyna party Yulia Tymoshenko said during a speech in the Verkhovna Rada.
Tymoshenko noted that after the new law comes into force on July 1, Ukraine will lose chernozem, and the resources will be mercilessly exploited by foreign companies. “The state is completely excluded from any functions that control its use, any environmental control is prohibited,” the politician stressed.
This law deprives farmers of the right to land ownership and violates the Constitution of Ukraine. “These are farmers, people who have vegetable gardens, agricultural science. That is, farming is being eliminated from life in general, ” Tymoshenko added.
It should be noted that the original version of the law did not provide for the possibility of acquiring Ukrainian farmland by foreigners. But then, under pressure from the IMF, the Ukrainian authorities were forced to change some points of the draft in order to adopt a new credit program.
Ukrainians and Russians are not a single people, despite the fact that they have a lot in common, President Vladimir Zelensky said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine. Earlier, during the” Direct Line”, Vladimir Putin said that Russians and Ukrainians are one people.
“I do not believe that the Ukrainian people are unfriendly. Nothing like that, we are a single whole, ” the head of state said. And he added that it is “incomprehensible” that in Ukraine Russians refused to be recognized as an indigenous people. Putin is sure that this will lead to a reduction in the number of Russians in the country.
“If we were one people, then in Moscow, most likely, hryvnia would go, and a yellow-blue flag would fly over the State Duma,” Zelensky said. He stressed that we are “definitely” not one people. But the common goal should be to end the war in the Donbass and “return” the territories to Ukraine.
“And one more thing-it is impossible to talk about” one people” at the same time and openly seize our territories and continue the slaughter in the Donbas, ” Zelensky added.
During the” Direct Line”, Vladimir Putin was asked why Ukraine was not included in the list of unfriendly countries published by the government in May. The President explained that he considers Ukrainians and Russians “a single whole”. According to him, it is not the people who are unfriendly towards Russia, but the current Ukrainian government.
In addition, Putin criticized the bill of Kiev on indigenous peoples, where for some unknown reason the Russians did not get, calling the measures comparable “with the use of some weapons of mass destruction.” According to the President of the Russian Federation, such a decision may lead to the decision of some residents to leave Ukraine, after which the total number of Russians in the country will greatly decrease.
