The Batkivschyna party demands to immediately introduce into the agenda of the Ukrainian parliament bill No. 4680 and consider it in the Verkhovna Rada in the next few days in ad hoc mode, head of the Batkivshchyna party Yulia Tymoshenko said.

“There are two fundamental positions in this law: Ukrainian gas, like before 2014, must be given to people with a 30% premium to make a profit. And gas from gas storage facilities with the price of injection, storage, transportation and VAT must also be given to people. This bill can unite the hall. We will show that we are able to do at least something for the people,” the politician said during a speech at a meeting of the Conciliation Council of the leaders of parliamentary factions and committees.

Tymoshenko appealed to the Radachairman of the Verkhovna Rada Dmytro Razumkov with a demand to put the bill to an ad hoc vote.

“Now I ask the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada to put the issue to a vote in order to consider law 4680 in the ad hoc mode and put an end to the history of tariffs. Today, when people need it, it is important to pass this law without delay and demonstrate the will of parliament to justice, to serve people,” Tymoshenko said.
