The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky instructed the Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration Olha Stefanishyna to hold consultations on the draft law on e-declaration.

He stated this on September 6 at a joint press conference with the Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen, as Ukrinform cites.

Zelensky will receive an answer from Stefanishyna and make a decision — to sign the law or make promises.

  • On September 5, 2023, the Verkhovna Rada returned the electronic declaration of property to officials and civil servants, but rejected a key amendment to make the declarations open immediately. That is, the register will be closed for another year — no one will publicly see the fortunes of employees. The public calls on President Volodymyr Zelensky to promise a draft law. The opening of e-declaration is demanded by Ukraineʼs partners, in particular the countries of the "Big Seven" and the European Union.
