Ukraine is not in the full title of the document.
The US Congress has registered a bill” Law on the Sovereignty of Ukraine 2022 “. Some Ukrainian media outlets were quick to report optimistically that the law would transfer Russian assets blocked by the United States to Ukrainians affected by Russia's war against Ukraine. However, Candidate of Law Serhiy Kozyakov writes in the article that the content of the document shows the futility of such expectations. And about the need for prompt response from Ukraine, the project has not yet become law.
In addition to the inspired short title (on Ukraine and its sovereignty), the bill has a long full title, and it defines the essence of the proposed: “On Amendments to Section 28 of the United States Code to Ensure Europe, will have access to the courts of the United States for damages and for other purposes “” , – writes Koziakov.
Ukraine as a warring state and a victim of Russian aggression is no longer in the name, our sovereignty is also gone, he continues.
“Instead, Europe appears, and in the text it is detailed to each individual state – in total, almost fifty states and territories,” Kozyakov said.
< p> Ukraine is also listed in this extensive list, but only through a coma, among other states. Including those who occupy a “neutral” or pro-Russian position or are several thousand kilometers away from the line of Russian fire, the author writes.
“Even the phrase” those who suffered losses as a result of enemy invasion “, ie in the plural and without the name of the state, is additional evidence – the law is not about Ukraine and not about Ukrainians “, – the author emphasizes.
