Along with this, the bill envisages for more than 400 thousand inhabitants of Donbass and the Crimea, who committed less serious crimes, the procedure of forgiveness, according to which they will have to confess their crimes and receive an alternative punishment in the form of temporary restriction of rights.

"This is a ban on state and military service, service in law enforcement agencies, work in the judicial system, local self-government bodies. These people also cannot head state institutions, enterprises or organizations, teach and participate in elections (both local and national)", - he explained.
