MOSCOW, March 15. /TASS/. The Kremlin has no information about new legislation in Ukraine imposing criminal liability for cooperating with Russia.
"No, we haven’t heard about this law, we’ll see what kind of law this is," Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday responding to a question on the matter.
Earlier, First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada (the Ukrainian parliament) Alexander Kornienko said that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky signed the relevant law, which stipulates a 15-year prison term as the penalty.
According to this legislation, Rada legislators who left Ukraine and previously expressed political stances that the Kiev regime considers to be unpatriotic can be sentenced to prison. Kornienko added that about 20 politicians could be targeted.
