We will remind that since the beginning of the full-scale war with the Russian Federation, the acquisition of such lands has been carried out according to a simplified procedure, however, draft law No. 7636 (https://cutt.ly/aCn5FL0), which was adopted in the first reading, proposes to resume the holding of land auctions for the sale of lease rights to communal agricultural land.
