Ukraine plans to hold referendum to determine public opinion: when it can happen
Now there are many manipulative messages on the net that a referendum may be held in Ukraine in the near future. The head of the Ukrainian delegation, David Arakhamia, noted that this can only happen in peacetime. Under conditions of martial law and a state of emergency, there can be no referendum.
It is clearly stated in paragraphs 52 and 53 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties that if any international treaty is concluded under duress, then it is not considered valid .
It should be complete peace on the territory of Ukraine, no foreign forces, everyone should leave and all that. It is very important for us. No country will sign such an agreement,” Arakhamia said.
If all sides accept the position on a referendum, this will mean an end to the war and a complete withdrawal of troops. When the war stops and all the settlers return home, only then will it be possible to start any mechanisms.
During the negotiations on March 29, Russia announced that it recognizes the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties.
