A total of 307 parliamentary members voted for respective bill 3268 as a basis, when 226 votes were enough to pass the decision, and 312 parliamentary members – as a whole, the Ukrainian News Agency reports.
The document provides for the possibility of using unregistered medicines recommended by an official body of the United States of America, member states of the European Union, the United Kingdom, the Swiss Confederation, Japan, Australia, Canada, the People’s Republic of China, and Israel for the treatment of coronavirus.
