People's Deputy Yuri Kamelchuk commented on the scandalous bill No. 9665, which increases liability for storing firewood without documents.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to Novynylive.
He noted that this law will will only affect those who chop and steal firewood in large quantities. According to Yuri Kamelchuk, there will be no checks for ordinary citizens.
“In fact, most commentators do not read the bill and do not analyze what they write about. They are trying to denigrate all the initiators who are fighting against illegal foresters and corrupt officials from the State Enterprise “Forests of Ukraine”, who, in fact, are pushing them into this whole story,” said the people's representative.
At the same time, Kamelchuk assured that there will be no checks of ordinary people regarding the amount of firewood for heating their own premises.
“Only those who steal and steal in large quantities – by the truckload – need to worry. They can be jailed,” the MP concluded.
MP Oleksandr Danutsa also commented on this bill. He said that a person who does not have documents for firewood worth at least UAH 30,480 can be held liable.
“If a cubic meter of firewood costs UAH 1,500, then liability is provided for more than 20.2 cubic meters of firewood without documents. A ZIL truck holds 5 cubic meters of firewood, which means we are talking about the volume of four trucks with firewood without documents,” the MP added.
Danutsa emphasized that in this case, “firewood” will not be considered to be home-grown cherries, apricots or pears.
Earlier it became known that Ukrainians are threatened with prison terms for firewood: a lawyer explained the details.
