The public movement Manifesto-42 appeals to the Verkhovna Rada to withdraw draft law No. 11443 from consideration, which, according to the movement, gives law enforcement officials the right to initiate “restriction of activity” of any business at their own discretion in order to ensure criminal proceedings. This was reported by a member of the movement, the owner of TK-Group, Oleksandr Sokolovskyi, reports “Interfax-Ukraine” “We have few problems, so today the Verkhovna Rada plans to finally vote in the second reading on the draft law on amendments to the CCU and KPK (Criminal and Criminal Procedure Codes of Ukraine – IF-U). Some of its provisions can lead to the blocking of any enterprise, as they say, “in manual mode” – Sokolovsky wrote. He emphasizes that in the case of its adoption, a legal entity will be able to restrict its activities if the prosecutor or investigator has “sufficient grounds to believe” that actions aimed at “obstructing criminal proceedings” may be committed on behalf of the legal entity or in its interests.

Among the consequences of the adoption of the document, Sokolovsky notes the interference in the economic activities of enterprises, the reduction of jobs, and the ban on participating in public procurement during the war will stop the supply of necessary ammunition and equipment. He also calls the draft law a tool of pressure on business and a basis for new corruption schemes.
