Economics: Politics: EU AA ratified, Poroshenko peace bill and lustration bill passed

Ukraine's politics adopted groundbreaking legislation yesterday. Although the EU association agreement was successfully ratified, the cease-fire bill met much more opposition but was finally approved with President Poroshenko's influence. Numerous MPs, political observers and Maidan activists are critical of Poroshenko's peace bill because it grants additional privileges to the pro-Kremlin militants that are denied to other citizens, and it will be used as political leverage in the upcoming parliamentary elections on October 26. The current mayor of the city of Lviv, a rising star in the Ukrainian political front who is also a leader of the Samopomich (Self assistance) political party, said that the peace bill is so inappropriate that it should be abolished by newly elected MPs. Public trust of Poroshenko is eroding quickly because it is believed that he made a secret deal with the Kremlin for the sake of peace. Although the Kremlin is withdrawing its army from Donbass, it is still annexing Crimea. Moreover, pro-Kremlin militants are said to be against the Poroshenko peace plan and may violate it. Pushed through by heavy lobbying by Maidan activists despite strong resistance from the political establishment, the last bill, a lustration bill (the purging of political undesirables), passed by a thin margin.
