The events of this week will be remembered by history since they will have a significant impact on the balance of power in Ukraine. First, the Constitutional Court refused to implement a presidential decree that has the potential to provoke a constitutional crisis. Later, a parliamentary committee published the text with changes to the Constitution on decentralization. This is the third attempt of this parliament to finish the implementation of the decentralization reform.<\/p>\n
Our digest today will outline the reasons for these decisions and their probable consequences.<\/p>\n
