How does the new law affect fuel price control in Ukraine?

What does the mandatory evacuation law entail?
The mandatory evacuation law signed by President Zelenskyy mandates the relocation of civilians, including children, from regions with active or potential military operations.

How has language protection legislation changed in Ukraine?
