Ukraine of National Security and Defense Council. Does Zelenskyi want to deal with oligarchs or rule them?

Olexander Partsey

Last week, the Verkhovna Rada voted in the first reading in favor of Volodymyr Zelenskyi's presidential draft law on oligarchs. If it's adopted, then this rather abstract concept will receive a very specific classification for the next 10 years: the criteria for defining an "oligarch," followed by getting into a special register and various legal consequences.

However, the right to decide who is an oligarch and who's not will belong to the National Security and Defense Council, that is, to Zelenskyi himself.

What the Office of the President is up to, whether the oligarchs have a serious cause for concern before the second reading, and how Zelenskyi will try to become his own antipode: find out in the Rubryka article.
