Rada members must prepare new bills marked ‘urgent’ to restore anti-corruption legislation

Rada members must prepare new bills marked ‘urgent’ to restore anti-corruption legislation invalidated Tuesday by the Constitutional Court, President Zelenskiy said yesterday in an emergency National Security and Defense Council meeting. “The electronic [asset] declaration system in Ukraine will work,” he said, ordering its restoration. “Draft laws for its renewal should be prepared and sent to the Verkhovna Rada as urgent.” The Rada reconvenes next week. After the ruling party’s poor showing in last Sunday’s local elections, it is not clear if the President still has a working majority.
