In an election year, the votes are not in the Rada to create a land market, President Poroshenko lamented Thursday in an annual message to the Parliament. “I understand that, unfortunately, a well-considered state decision to create a civilized land market will now be difficult to hold,” he said. “If anyone is interested in how this stalemate fits into our European strategy, I would remind you that the European Court of Human Rights has recognized that a moratorium for free market circulation of land violates the rights of Ukrainians.” After he spoke, the Rada approved and sent to the Constitutional Court an amendment that states as a national goal the preservation of farm land ownership in the hands of Ukrainian citizens.
