A member of the Verkhovna Rada from the Servant of the People faction, a member of the budget committee, Maksym Zaremskyi, proposes that the parliament abolish the fee for natural gas transportation for the population.
This is stated in draft law No. 13095, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
It is proposed to exempt household consumers from paying for natural gas transportation and distribution services.
According to the text, this fee should be abolished for the period of martial law and within a year after its abolition.
The author explains his initiative by the fact that "in Ukraine, most people survive on minimum wages and even smaller pensions or other social benefits," while at the same time taxes are being increased.
Zaremskyi emphasized that in his constituency, people often resent the established fee for the transportation and distribution of natural gas through networks that were laid at the expense of the owners.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the National Commission for State Regulation of Energy and Municipal Services increased tariffs for natural gas transportation for LLC GTS Operator of Ukraine for 2025-2029 by 2-4 times.
