Zelenskyi announces law on national communities

President Volodymyr Zelenskyi has said that work is currently underway on a bill on national communities in Ukraine.

As reported by Censor.NET.

He said this during a speech at the All-Ukrainian Forum "Ukraine 30. Humanitarian Policy" on July 13.

"The President's Office and I personally set the task of developing a qualitatively new and progressive legislation. And now active work is underway on the law [draft law] on national communities in Ukraine," Zelenskyi said.

He added that the law should be about communities rather than minorities. According to the president, no nationality in our country "should feel like a minority, less important, less protected, or less happy; no one can be in the minority, because we are all citizens of Ukraine and we are all equal."
