Kyiv. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has submitted a bill to the parliament that outlines the boundaries of particular districts in the breakaway eastern regions that could be granted “special status” within Ukraine.
The draft law was entered Saturday into the database of the Ukrainian parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, the Sputnik International reports.
The area, to which the special status law could potentially be applied, was determined Thursday by Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council. The Ukrainian parliament may reportedly vote on it next Tuesday or Wednesday.
