Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signed a law expanding the powers of local self-government bodies to provide financial and material support to the security and defense sector during martial law or a state of emergency.
According to Ukrinform, the law was published on the parliament’s website.
The law regulates the issue of comprehensive support for the Armed Forces by local communities, excluding the purchase of weapons and ammunition, and also removes all inconsistencies in legislation regarding heads of communities who became chiefs of military administrations in populated areas.
The adopted law grants executive bodies of village, settlement, and city councils the authority to build, equip, and maintain engineering and fortification structures.
