The bill on national security will help improve Ukraine’s investment climate if adopted by the Verkhovna Rada, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said.
“We must work hard to ensure that Ukraine changes with respect to NATO standards. This will be largely facilitated by the law on national security, which was registered in parliament and drafted in cooperation with our NATO partners,” he said at a meeting with business representatives in Kyiv on Monday. Poroshenko noted that the adoption of this bill was closely linked to the improvement of the investment climate in Ukraine.
“What relation does this have to the investment climate? A direct and immediate relation, because parliamentary and public control over the defense and security sector is being intensified, and confidence in Ukraine as a reliable partner of NATO is growing,” he said. As reported, on February 28, 2018, the parliament received a presidential bill on national security of Ukraine (No. 8068) and it is immediately sent for consideration by the concerned committee.
