Landmark Decisions

Key decisions are classified as either harmful (red) or beneficial (green) and are added to the platform in accordance with the methodology.

The REchargeUA project was created as a one-stop platform for civil society advocacy (the “Under Review” section) and as a tool that preserves political memory for voters, enabling them to make informed choices based on legislative voting records and Members of Parliament’s biographies.

Visualizations of voting results by parliamentary factions and groups following landmark votes are generated on the Holka website within one hour after the data becomes available on the Verkhovna Rada website. The platform also visualizes roll-call voting results with MPs’ photographs, including breakdowns by single-member constituencies. This allows regional media outlets, in particular, to quickly inform voters about the actions of representatives elected from their districts.

The distribution of votes among factions and parliamentary groups for all votes is based on MPs’ current factional or group affiliation. This approach ensures that political forces that change their names over time, hoping voters may not retain long-term political memory, cannot shed their political track record and remain politically accountable for the individuals they bring into their teams.

The platform also seeks to foster a new quality of political culture among Members of Parliament. Politicians should take public sentiment into account and actively participate in voting by pressing the “For,” “Against,” or “Abstain” buttons, rather than leaving their voting cards inserted and refraining from voting.

    On the Deprivation of State Awards from Traitors

    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.
