At the initiative of People's Deputy Anna Purtova.

The Pechersk district state administration in the city of Kyiv is pursuing a tough policy to prevent and eliminate street trade in the capital's central district, as street trade is considered a potential danger to consumers. This is reported by the district administration's press service.

People's Deputy of Ukraine Anna Purtova appealed to the Kyiv district administration. Afterward, specialists from the landscaping control department, the Pechersk police department, and the Pechersk unit of the Kyiv Public Formation for the Protection of Public Order and the State Border 'Municipal Guard' conducted daily inspection raids on illegal trade operating near metro stations.

'Thanks to joint efforts, unauthorized trade has now been eliminated in the Pechersk district of Kyiv near the Pecherska and Arsenalna metro stations.'

Going forward, the Pechersk district state administration will continue conducting such inspection raids in the area to completely eliminate street trade in the Pechersk district.

Trading from hands in unspecified locations is an administrative offense under Article 160 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses, which entails a fine of 1 to 7 non-taxable minimum incomes of citizens, with confiscation of trade goods.
