«64 recommendations remained unimplemented, 32 of which are still in the process of implementation. We have established that the failure to implement the recommendations within the specified period is due to changes in legislation, military aggression of the Russian Federation and the untimely adoption of measures to implement them. Certain recommendations cannot be implemented while martial law is in effect,&rdash; noted Gennady Plis.
