The Verkhovna Rada adopted the law on land for those affected by the war.

According to inkorr.com: In the second reading and in general, the draft law 'On amendments to certain legislative acts of Ukraine regarding the protection of land rights of owners of real estate objects' was adopted, the press service of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine reports.

According to the information from the press service of the VRU, the document is aimed at protecting the rights of citizens whose property was destroyed during Russian aggression and provides them with the opportunity to reclaim or acquire land plots that were under such objects.

According to the new regulations, if the ownership rights to real estate were annulled in the State register of property rights due to destruction, previous owners or their heirs may receive land plots free of charge or without conducting land auctions.

Conditions of the new law

During martial law and for 5 years after its completion, the law will operate under new conditions. The procedures for obtaining land plots will be simplified, and the need to develop urban planning documentation may be canceled if the designation of the plot corresponds to the designation of the destroyed object.

The law also stipulates that the Ministry of Ecology will acquire the right to approve the methodology for determining the damage caused to land resources due to pollution or littering. In addition, diplomatic representations may be exempted from paying rent for land if this is provided for by international agreements approved by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

The Verkhovna Rada has adopted an important law aimed at protecting land rights, which is intended to restore the rights of citizens whose property was destroyed as a result of hostilities. Property owners whose ownership rights were annulled due to destruction can now receive land plots free of charge or without bidding. This law also simplifies the procedures for obtaining land and provides for the exemption of diplomatic representations from land rent in cases where this is agreed with international treaties approved by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
