Earlier, the Ukrainian Media Movement, along with media and human rights organizations, urged the Verkhovna Rada not to support bill No. 10242 in its current form, as they believe it "poses significant threats to freedom of speech, the work of journalists, the protection of journalistic sources, and whistleblowers of corruption in Ukraine."
The bill No. 10242 proposes "amendments to the Criminal Code of Ukraine to establish criminal liability for unauthorized interference, trafficking, or dissemination of information processed in public electronic registers and to enhance criminal liability during the period of martial law for criminal offenses in the sphere of information and communication systems."
