Верховна Рада України не підтримала проект Закону «Про прийняття Поправки до Угоди про збереження кажанів в Європі».

Як передає кореспондент УНІАН, за даний законопроект проголосували 173 народних депутати із 409, зареєстрованих у сесійній залі.

Депутат Тарас ЧОРНОВІЛ заявив, що не голосуватиме за даний законопроект, оскільки у ньому не йдеться про ще одного кажана – «балогоносого помаранчевого вампіра.

Now, following in the steps of Winston Churchill and Adolf Hitler, Mr Putin has reinvented himself as an amateur artist.

His debut painting, which pays tribute to Ukrainian folklore and will be auctioned for charity at the weekend, is surprisingly homely for a man whose last publicity stunt saw him allegedly save a camera crew from certain death by felling a rogue tiger with a tranquilizer gun.

According to the rules of the exhibition, Mr Putin was required to paint an image related to the Night Before Christmas, a story by the Ukrainian born author Nikolai Gogol, the bicentenary of whose birth is celebrated this year.

With Russia locked in a bitter gas dispute with Ukraine, the theme is replete with ironic symbolism with even the frost encrusted windows unwittingly suggesting freezing homes across central Europe after Mr Putin ordered all supplies through Europe to be cut.
