Only question of support for peace agreement can be put to referendum, - Stefanchuk
Only one question may be put to a nationwide referendum: do you support the peace agreement?
This was announced to journalists by the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, Ruslan Stefanchuk, after a meeting with European national security advisers in Kyiv on Saturday, according to Interfax-Ukraine, as reported by Censor.NET.
There can be only one question on the referendum
"Issues relating to the Constitution of Ukraine cannot be the subject of a nationwide or any other referendum. There can only be one question in a referendum: do you support the agreement or not?" said the speaker of parliament.
Stefanchuk noted that for Ukraine, "any expression of the will of the people, whether it be a referendum or elections, has two components — security and democracy."
"Ukraine is definitely not Russia, and we do not need elections or a referendum at any cost... Therefore, elections and a referendum will only take place when they meet all democratic and security standards," the head of the Verkhovna Rada emphasised.
What preceded this?
- Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that if the document ending the war is signed, ratification could take place through a nationwide referendum.
- At the same time, Donald Trump said that Putin did not agree to a ceasefire during the referendum in Ukraine.
