On the Deprivation of State Awards from Traitors

Tags:
Primary author: Президент України Володимир Зеленський

Draft law No. 11410 was submitted by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy in mid-2024. At that time, civil society and the media had been discussing the urgency of this issue for several years, given that a number of pro-Russian politicians held state awards. Citizens had collected nearly 27,000 signatures in a petition addressed to the President calling for the deprivation of pro-Russian MP Yurii Boiko of the title Hero of Ukraine back in late 2022.

It should be noted that a similar legislative initiative (No. 6163) had already been introduced by Members of Parliament in 2021, prior to the full-scale invasion. The lead author was MP Roman Lozynskyi (“Holos”). However, from a communications standpoint, it was the central government that ultimately presented the initiative as its own achievement. As a result, the presidential draft law was considered in the plenary chamber, incorporating the work previously developed under MP Lozynskyi’s bill.
