THE "DONBASS REINTEGRATION" BILL PACKET OR AN ACT OF HIGH TREASON


Last week was marked with new protest actions of Ukrainian nationalists in Kyiv. On October 5, the united nationalist forces approached to the Parliament protesting against the adoption of so-called draft of "the Donbass reintegration." On the next day the protests resulted into clashes with police. 

Indeed, the bills package includes some positive points. First of all, Russia finally - three years after the invasion began - has been officially recognized an aggressor. It also defines particular parts of the Luhansk and Dontetsk Oblasts as occupied. Clearly, this bill package is a demonstration of attempts ot search peacefull ways ro esolve the conflict by Ukraine's government, even despite it has a number of points, that directly contradicts to the national interests of Ukrainian state. What's noticible, that news on the bill package adoption were welcomed positively in Moscow. First of all, talking about the occupied territories, the issue of Russia occupied Crimea has not been considered at all, which triggers a lot of questions.

The biggest controversy has been unfolded around the bill #7163 "On peculiarities of the state policy on ensuring state sovereignty of Ukraine over temporarily occupied parts of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions," and it's no wonder. So let's dig into it, among other the bill provides:

- an amnesty is granted to the Russian invaders and their collaborators-terrorists. Art. 3 - in accordence withe the law,  the state guarantees the prevention of criminal prosecution, the prosecution, and the prosecution of persons - participants of the events on the territory of Donetsk, Luhansk Oblasts.

- immunity is provided to deputies, "elected" under the control of terrorists. Art 5, paragraph 2 - the powers of deputies of local councils and officials elected at the extraordinary elections, appointed by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine by this Law, may not be terminated prematurely.

- terrorists will appoint the heads of the prosecution and the courts, while themselves will become official "people's police," subordinated solely to local authorities, which are obviously to be selected from former Kremlin controlled  terrorists. Art 5, paragraph 3.

- Ukraine should provide direct external relations of the Donbass with the regions of Russia, Art. 8. In other words, it eliminates the state border as so between the occupied regions of Donbass abd the Russian Federation.

And what's the most cynical - all this will be funding from taxes of ordinary Iranians, while the terrorist controlled area will be exempted from taxes at all, according to the article 7.

The Law on the State Budget of Ukraine provides for expenditures for state support for the socio-economic development of certain districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions each year. Ukraine guarantees the definition of such expenditures of the general fund of the State Budget of Ukraine by protected expenditures, the amount of which can not be changed in the course of the reduction of approved budget allocations.

As Oleg Petrenko - an MP and member of the Natsionalny Corpus party - the above mentioned bill packet adoption is fits under the bill #111 of the Criminal Code (high treason), here is a few quotes: "...an act deliberately committed by a citizen of Ukraine at the expense of sovereignty, territorial integrity and inviolability, defense capability, state, economic or informational security of Ukraine...", "... providing to a foreign state, a foreign organization or their representatives assistance in conducting subversive activities against Ukraine ...
