On Wednesday, June 26, at 10:30 a.m., the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Environmental Policy and Nature Management will hold a meeting via videoconference.

EcoPolitic has prepared the agenda of the committee for its readers.

MPs will consider the documents for which the environmental committee has been designated as the lead agency, namely:
