There is one macro package where the failure of at least one law will mean the failure of all. It includes the bill to cancel the privileged customs clearance of parcels.
According to 75 % of the bills needed to provide further financial assistance from partners, the votes in the Verkhovna Rada will be there. The remaining 25 % may be harder to find.
This was announced by the first deputy speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Oleksandr Korniyenko at an LB and EFI Group organized event “Autumn-Winter 26-27: the main challenges of war, politics, society, business, life support systems.” He explained that for separate document packages different sums are allocated.
In particular, substantial sums are allocated for the adoption of the Labor Code, and about a billion hryvnias are expected to be provided after the adoption of the anti-corruption bill.
“With the votes I wouldn’t dramatize it that there is none at all. We analyzed the whole package with the government, there are some fantastical figures. 27 we need to introduce the bills and 16 to write them. These are all the money in the country. If we do not vote on all of this, we will have no money besides our taxes. And taxes go to the army, so we will have to take from these taxes and there will not be enough for the army or for salaries of public sector workers first and foremost,” he said.
Korniyenko added that if the whole package is analyzed, then 75 % is “vote-worthy, it just requires time and agreements on the final wording.”
Regarding the controversial bills, in particular about taxation of postal items, discussions continue. Business representatives were invited to the faction’s meeting, who argued their position “against” on the grounds that this would hit Ukrainian entrepreneurs as well.
In response to the question of how many deputies from Servant of the People consistently come to work and participate in votes, Korniyenko said that 180 is an optimistic figure.
