KYIV – President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected the law “On state recognition and support of Plast – National Scouting Organization of Ukraine,” sending it back to the Verkhovna Rada on September 4. The legislation had been approved by the previously elected Parliament at the end of May and awaited the president’s action for more than three months.
The president did not sign the law; instead, he returned it to the Parliament with his proposals. Now it is up to the recently elected new Rada to act on Ukraine’s recognition and support of this scouting organization that was founded in 1911 in Ukraine.
