The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has adopted a number of draft laws
Today, March 15, a number of draft laws were adopted at the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, including:
- “On denunciation of the Agreement between the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the Government of the Republic of Belarus on cooperation in the field of emergency prevention and elimination of their consequences” and the draft order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine;
- “On Amendments to Paragraph 1 of Chapter IX “Final Provisions” of the Law of Ukraine “On the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine”;
- “On amendments to paragraph 4 of the Regulation on the State Migration Service of Ukraine”.
Today, the termination of the Agreement is due to a radical change of circumstances in relations between Ukraine and the Republic of Belarus, which is complicit in Russia's armed aggression against our state. In view of this, the Agreement has lost its relevance, since the cooperation mechanisms provided for by it are not applied by the parties and cannot be applied.
Another document “On Amendments to Paragraph 1 of Chapter IX “Final Provisions” of the Law of Ukraine “On the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine” provides for an increase of 15 thousand troops of the total number of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.
With the adoption of the Law, the total number of the State Border Guard Service during the year from the date of termination or abolition of martial law on the territory of Ukraine will be up to 75,000 people, including up to 67,000 servicemen.

- placement of persons at the point of temporary stay of foreigners and stateless persons illegally staying in Ukraine;
- readmission of persons;
- forced expulsion of foreigners and stateless persons from Ukraine;
