That Law was later spread from Ukraine far over the borders of the Ukraine-Rus, he said.
Andrii Parubii noted that since that very moment the Ukrainians had improved the Law.
According to the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, that Law was followed by the Lithuanian Statutes.
He reminded that the Constitution of Pylyp Orlyk or Pacts and Constitutions of Rights and Freedoms of the Zaporizhian Host was a 1710 constitutional document written by Hetman Pylyp Orlyk, a Cossack of Ukraine.
He said the United States adopted its Constitution in 1787 and the Russian Empire approved own Basic Law only in 1905.
Andrii Parubii considers that the Ukrainians have proved that the fight for freedom, for the right to live on own land following own laws leads to the victory — the independence of Ukraine.
The Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada recalled that on June 28, 1996, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the Constitution of Ukraine. "We have restored our State and our Law. Then it took the parliamentarians 24 hours to adopt the Basic Law," he added.
The Chairperson of the Ukrainian Parliament said: "Our life must be worth our Law." He added that the Verkhovna Rada of current convocation has taken certain steps to implement the Articles of the Basic Law. "This Verkhovna Rada has adopted the laws to restore defense capacity of the Ukrainian army; the anticorruption laws; established the Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office; established National Anticorruption Bureau; established new open police, etc.," Parubii said.
He also said that this Verkhovna Rada has adopted all the documents for the introduction of the visa-free regime between the European Union and Ukraine.
I believe that these walls will let us adopt the agreement on the ratification of the membership of the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Our Basic Law of Ukraine has a millennium-long history.
Happy holiday!
Glory to Ukraine!
