The day before
On 3 April 2018, the Verkhovna Rada rejected two bills that would have abolished e-declaration for civic activists: presidential bill No. 6674 and deputies' bill No. 6271.
The same day, in the wider region, Russian MPs called for sanctions against Latvia. They were responding to plans to make Latvian mandatory for all secondary-school students in a country that is a quarter ethnic Russian.
