In September, a group of MPs registered draft resolution No. 14010 in parliament on the Verkhovna Rada's appeal to the Cabinet of Ministers regarding the need to uphold the legal order established by the Constitution of Ukraine. The document requires the government not to issue bylaws on matters that, according to the Constitution, fall within the exclusive powers of the Rada. Specifically, this concerns the introduction of experimental projects.
