"In fact, most commentators do not read the draft law and do not analyze what they are writing about. They are trying to slander all the initiators who are fighting against black foresters and corrupt officials from the State Enterprise "Forests of Ukraine", who, in fact, are leading them to this whole story," said the People's Deputy.

He assured that there will be no inspections of ordinary people regarding the amount of firewood for heating their own homes.
