| 2:30 PM | KYIV | Olena Shuliak, Chair of Sluha Narodu (Servant of the People) Party, Chair of the Verkhovna Rada’s Committee on State Building, Local Governance, Regional and Urban Development | Topic of focus: Draft law No. 7198 on compensation for destroyed and damaged housing: what lies at its core, how housing compensation will work in the conditions of the all-out war and after Ukraine’s victory. Why this is important: On February 23, the Verkhovna Rada adopted draft law No. 7198 as a whole in the second reading. It is a part of large-scale reconstruction efforts, and clear rules of the game, transparency, openness and extensive use of digital tools lie at the center of it. A legislative change is overdue: this is evidenced by the fact that, as of the beginning of 2023, more than 316,000 Ukrainians who are homeowners have submitted their applications for compensation through Diia. |

However, over time, more and more analysts are beginning to doubt whether the sanctions remain relevant and effective. This is what the experts will focus on during the discussion. |
