KIEV, Oct. 21 – President Viktor Yanukovych has applied his veto to the Law on Identity Documents Proving Ukrainian Citizenship, which provides for introduction of identity and Ukrainian citizenship documents containing biometric data.
In Yanukovych's opinion, this bill cannot be signed into law because it bears risks of infringement of citizens' constitutional rights and guarantees of these rights, universally acknowledged personal rights, and foundations of existence of a democratic state.
