Korniienko's direct speech: "Two sessions are planned for next week – on Tuesday (July 13) and Thursday (July 15). Most likely, the President of Ukraine will ask to convene them. The session on Tuesday will be dedicated to the adoption of the law on the reform of "Ukroboronprom" and other draft laws, including the possibility of considering the draft law on the circulation of medical cannabis in the first reading, and on "Ukroboronprom" – in the second reading.

As for the session on Thursday, it will mostly be about environmental laws. There is a whole package, about eight laws.

They are dedicated to various regulations in the environmental sphere, Ukraine's accession to such an environmental initiative as the "Emerald Network", strengthening various aspects in the forestry industry, i.e., environmental laws. Also, laws on digitalization, digital transformation reform. Most likely, the "paperless law", which needs to be adopted by August 24, the "Diia City" draft law in the second reading, and the draft law on virtual assets will also be considered at the extraordinary session."
