Following the adoption of a law allowing banks with foreign investment own agricultural land in Ukraine 72% of the territory will cease to belong to the Ukrainian state, said during a speech in the Verkhovna Rada a representative of the people and leader of the party Batkivshchyna; Yulia Tymoshenko.
Tymoshenko noted that after the entry into force of the new law on July 1, Ukraine will lose black ground and resources will be ruthlessly used by foreign companies. “ The state is completely excluded from any functions that govern its use, any environmental control is prohibited, “ the politician stressed.
This law deprives farmers of the right to own land and violates the Constitution of Ukraine. “ They are farmers, people who have vegetable gardens, agricultural science. This means that agriculture is generally removed from life, & # 39; & # 39; added Tymoshenko.
It is worth noting that the original version of the law did not provide for the possibility of acquiring Ukrainian agricultural land by foreigners. After that, however, under IMF pressure, the Ukrainian authorities were forced to change some points of the project in order to adopt a new loan program.
