Bill on Donbas de-occupation: notes ahead of second reading

Much has been said about the presidential bill "On the features of state policy on ensuring Ukraine's state sovereignty over the occupied territories in Donetsk and Luhansk regions." However, the question remained beyond the discussion framework on how this bill had been drafted and then submitted to Parliament. Besides, much less focus was made on the decision to prolong the law on a special order of local self-governance in the occupied Donbas that had already entered into force. Also, the bill put forward by a group of deputies led by the Rada vice-speaker, with a name similar to the presidential version, "On the features of state policy..." remained behind the scenes.
