People should have the right to armed self-defense.

Bill on Civilian Firearms

"I believe that people should have the right to armed self-defense. Especially given the experience at the start of the full-scale invasion, when civilians were provided with weapons for the national resistance."

"So, in the near future, we will hold expert discussions involving members of parliament, the public, journalists, and the veteran community regarding the preparation of the final version of the draft law on civilian firearms," the minister explained.
