With the stroke of a pen, President Zelenskiy yesterday transferred 6% of Ukraine’s 33 million hectares of farmland from state ownership to local community ownership. “On October 26, all newly created communities should receive land in communal ownership and will be able to use funds from land use for the development and welfare of their communities,” he said, referring to the day after Ukraine’s Oct. 25 local elections. “We return lands from the center to the people.”
