Initiative on forced equipment placement draws criticism

MP Dmytro Razumkov has criticised the government's initiative contained in bill No. 16210. The document allows for the installation of radio electronic warfare (REW) systems on private land plots of up to 5 sotkas, as well as on the roofs of apartment buildings and private houses, without obtaining permission from the owners. Furthermore, the initiative permits the use of communications infrastructure to ensure the operation of such equipment.

Security threat and corruption risk

According to Razumkov, such an initiative not only violates citizens' constitutional right to private property but also endangers their lives. Installing military equipment in close proximity to residential areas creates additional risks for residents during Russian attacks. The politician also noted that the proposal opens the door to corrupt abuses and provides Russian propaganda with new pretexts to justify strikes on civilian objects.

Alternative: contractual relations and compensation

As an alternative, the MP, together with colleagues, registered bill No. 16210-1. This document provides for the placement of military equipment with the consent of property owners. Cooperation must be based on contractual terms, which includes payment for the use of the object and compensation for any damage caused.

MP's stance on balancing defence and human rights

Razumkov emphasised that meeting the state's defence needs should not come at the expense of violating citizens' rights. Decisions on the installation of military equipment must be made with the safety of people being the primary consideration.

«Не можна під приводом оборони перетворювати Україну на поліцейську державу, де не поважають ні людину, ні її власність», — підсумував він. ("One cannot, under the pretext of defence, turn Ukraine into a police state where neither the person nor their property is respected," he concluded.)
