The Verkhovna Rada has adopted a law on state registration of human genomic information.
The adoption of the relevant bill No. 4265 was generally supported by 256 people’s deputies at the plenary session on Saturday, Yaroslav Zheleznyak, a member of the Holos faction, said on his Telegram channel.
The document provides for the regulation of both mandatory state and voluntary registration of human genomic information.
The law clearly defines the categories of persons subject to mandatory registration. We are talking about persons brought to criminal responsibility for committing intentional crimes against life, health, sexual freedom, sexual inviolability of a person, in respect of which a measure of restraint has been chosen; on persons who have committed crimes against life, health, sexual freedom, sexual inviolability of a person, to whom medical measures have been applied by a court decision.
The norms of the law also apply to persons convicted of committing intentional crimes against life, health, sexual freedom, sexual inviolability of the person; convicted and serving a sentence of imprisonment or having an unexpunged or outstanding conviction for committing grave or especially grave crimes, as well as all categories of crimes against sexual freedom and sexual inviolability.
In addition, unidentified corpses, missing persons, as well as close relatives of missing persons are subject to mandatory registration.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky called for the export of Ukrainian goods and services to Europe, which will help mitigate the blow inflicted on the economy of the continent by Russian aggression.
“Russia launched a large-scale attack on Europe from Ukraine, because Russia understands the importance of Ukraine for the European project. Russia will inevitably lose, because Europe cannot be split, not divided into parts, as it was before,” he said, speaking on Friday on videoconferencing in the Slovenian Parliament.
“They say in Moscow that they are not enemies of Europe. But Russia has hit the Europeans with a gas crisis. They are trying to keep European gas storage facilities empty before winter. Russia has driven gas prices in Europe to historic highs, deliberately limiting supplies. This has led to catastrophic inflation “, he noted.
According to Zelensky, “Russia is preparing another strike – migration. When the Russian fleet blocked our ports, it was a conscious decision against everyone in the world who depends on food imports. And you see the consequences, but this is only the beginning.”
“Without our food, it will not be possible to stabilize the food market. If there is a famine in Africa and Asia, then you will see new migrants on the territory of the European Union. Millions of new migrants,” the president said.
Zelenskiy said that importing Ukrainian electricity would help mitigate the energy crisis in Europe. “We have a surplus of electricity, even now, when Russian marauders are taking solar power plants out of Ukrainian regions and by their actions have significantly limited our coal generation,” he said.
“We can increase exports 10 times or more, and this will allow us to replace a significant part of Russian gas imports with Ukrainian electricity. All of Ukraine’s European neighbors can get new energy stability and lower energy prices in Europe thanks to Ukrainian electricity,” Zelensky said.
He recalled Ukraine’s gas storage facilities, the most convenient for our region, which can strengthen the European gas market and make the EU more prepared for the winter seasons.
“Together with our partners in the EU, we are creating new food export routes,” Zelensky said. Enormous opportunities arise from the integration of our country into the EU digital market, the president added.
“In order to get through to you, they have to get through us. Therefore, everyone in Europe is interested in Ukraine winning,” Zelensky concluded.
Ukrainians are urged to thank the defenders: when meeting, put your palm to your heart.
Life is gradually returning to the rear cities of Ukraine. The further away from the front line, the calmer each day can seem to us, and the faster we try to return to everyday life and put things in order. And it is easier to forget that the war is ongoing.
Bringing cities back to life is important. Finding an opportunity to comfort yourself and your loved ones is essential. However, the most important thing is to remember, thanks to whom we can do all this.
Every such day we are indebted to our military and veterans, rescuers, and doctors who continue to defend the country. So today it is more important than ever to thank them for this. When you see defenders, put your right palm to your heart — a simple and natural gesture of gratitude that will speak for you.
In order for as many people as possible to learn about it, Veteran Hub, together with the provid agency, renewed the communication of the #ZavdyakyTobi (thanks to you in Ukrainian) campaign with a series of new videos and digital materials, in which combat participants were involved. So during filming, the actors thanked them with absolute sincerity in every take.
We can confidently say that this entire campaign was created thanks to them.
The gesture of thanks #ZavdyakyTobi appeared in 2018, and today it has become even more appropriate. When it is difficult and awkward to choose words, a hand on the heart will show your respect.
We invite you to support our campaign by thanking our defenders not only in person but also on your social networks. To do this, put the hashtag #ЗавдякиТобі in the posts and download materials for your content at the link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1PnltMvYOrziWKXZdEZKHZEE5Q_ucS-it.

Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak said that judicial reform remains one of the necessary ones for joining the EU.
“Judicial reform, a mechanism for selecting judges and holding them accountable,” he said, speaking at a Forbes-Ukraine conference on Friday.
Among the necessary reforms, he also named the reform of the SBU. “We must also continue to implement a plan to de-oligarchize Ukraine in order to eliminate the influence of the oligarchs on political decision-making,” he said. At the same time, he stressed the need for a significant strengthening of the antimonopoly legislation.
Yermak also announced the reform of key ministries and departments. “The state should become more compact and efficient,” he said.
The main principles for the authorities, according to him, remain “security standards, the rule of law, the value of human life.”
“Joining the EU will help us build a Ukraine that we can be proud of,” Yermak said, noting that “this (joining the EU-IF-U) should take place “as soon as possible.”
He also considers it necessary to develop practices for creating industrial parks and special regimes for IT companies.
Yermak urged businessmen to “be more active in making proposals and cooperating with the government and the President’s Office.” “The government, together with experts, should create a national plan for joining the EU. The plan should be as realistic as possible,” the head of the President’s Office said.
Customs revenues in June increased by 33% compared to May, to UAH 12.69 billion, Yaroslav Zheleznyak, deputy head of the parliamentary committee on finance, tax and customs policy, said.
“The results of the work of customs in June: receipts amounted to UAH 12.69 billion. On the one hand, this is already 33%, or UAH 3.1 billion more than received in May from customs,” he said on the Telegram channel on Thursday .
Zheleznyak recalled that import exemptions were still in effect in June, which means that the June customs results indicate a gradual resumption of economic activity.
“On the other hand, such an income is only a third (32%) of what was supposed to come from customs in peacetime – the plan was UAH 34 billion,” Zheleznyak said.
Due to the full-scale Russian invasion and the inability to guarantee security, pilgrims will not be able to arrive in Ukraine to celebrate the new year according to the Jewish calendar (Rosh Hashanah), the Ukrainian Embassy in Israel reports.
“Due to the Russian war in Ukraine, visitors will not be able to enter the country. Every year on the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, visitors from Israel and around the world fly to Ukraine to pray at the grave of Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav and other holy places . This year, due to the ongoing Russian war, the celebration of Rosh Hashanah has not been determined,” the Facebook post said.
Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevhen Korniychuk addressed the Orthodox media in Israel about a trip to Ukraine during the upcoming Jewish holidays.
“Due to fears for the lives and well-being of those coming to Ukraine and in light of the flagrant Russian war in our country, despite all efforts, we cannot guarantee the safety of pilgrims and currently do not allow tourists and visitors to enter Ukraine,” the mill said. .
He also urged to pray “for the war in Ukraine to end before Rosh Hashanah, which broke out due to flagrant and brutal Russian aggression, and pray for the victory of Ukraine.”
Every autumn, in the city of Uman, Cherkasy region, where the grave of the leader of the Bratslav Hasidim, Tzadik Nakhman, is located, Hasidic pilgrims from all over the world arrive to celebrate Rosh Hashanah.
