Ruling on de-Russification/Open source

We remind you that on September 18, people's deputies blocked the rostrum of the Verkhovna Rada due to the failure of the vote on renaming settlements.

Deputies were divided into those who demand a re-vote as a package, and those who believe that the package should be split up and vote for renaming each city separately. Blocking of the rostrum and srach continues, said member of parliament Vasylevska-Smaglyuk.

As you know, the parliament has banned geographical names related to Russia. The adoption of the law will accelerate the de-Sovietization and de-Russification of the country.
