Ukraine petition seeks minimum distances for warehouses and production near homes

A Ukrainian petition proposes prohibiting new large warehouses and production facilities near residential buildings, citing Russian attacks on logistics infrastructure and safety risks. Filed by Andriy Burchanskyi on the Cabinet of Ministers website, it suggests minimum distances of 300 meters for class V facilities and 500 meters for class IV, arguing current rules ignore fire and explosion dangers. It needs 25,000 signatures. Signature collection began August 5. Most such petitions fail to become binding decisions even after reaching the threshold, according to local media outlet Telegraf.
