Starting next year Ukrainians will be free to buy guns. The interior minister’s advisor has said that Ukrainians have given an unambiguous answer regarding permission to freely own firearms. He said that the relevant legislation will be passed in the summer and autumn. After that, the relevant registers of weapons will be launched.
“We are talking specifically about guns, not grenade launchers or Kalashnikov assault rifles. The ministry agrees with the Ukrainians’ decision and changes are already being prepared for the second reading of the bill,” he said.
