The Verkhovna Rada has removed from the agenda consideration of bill No. 10311, which proposes to allow servicemen of the National Guard of Ukraine to use firearms and tear gas against rioters.
MP Yaroslav Zhelezniak (Holos) reported this on Monday, March 24.
"There really is a problem with it. It really was removed from the agenda. I don't believe in conspiracy theories here. Frankly, everyone understood that it needed to be finalized," he wrote on his Telegram channel.
Zhelezniak believes that bill No. 10311 in its current version will probably not be adopted in this convocation.
The chairman of the board of the Anti-Corruption Center (ACC) Vitalii Shabunin also wrote about this.
"Bill No. 10311 on expanding the right of the National Guard to use firearms, special equipment and drones against protesters has been removed from the Rada's agenda," Shabunin wrote.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on March 24 it became known that the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Law Enforcement Activities recommended that the parliament allow the National Guard to use firearms to stop cars.
And on March 21, the aforementioned committee recommended that the Rada allow National Guard servicemen to shoot at civilians during mass protests.
