"Article 38. Citizens have the right to take part in the management of state affairs, in all-Ukrainian and local referendums."

Referendums on the most important issues for the existence of Ukraine - on the sale of land, accession to NATO and the EU, on the conditions for loans from the International Monetary Fund - were never held.

The Kyiv authorities are frustrating all attempts to hold both all-Ukrainian referendums and local referendums on renaming cities and streets.

"Article 39. Citizens have the right to assemble peacefully, without weapons, and to hold meetings, rallies, processions and demonstrations, the conduct of which is notified in advance to executive authorities or local governments."

Now, under martial law in Ukraine, any gatherings are prohibited.

But over the past 8 years in Ukraine it was impossible to hold meetings with anti-war, anti-fascist themes, meetings of social protest.

Such gatherings were dispersed by the police or attacked by far-right groups with the inaction of the police.

"Article 44. Workers have the right to strike to protect their economic and social interests."

In fact, Ukrainian workers cannot go on strike in accordance with the law "On the resolution of labor disputes" adopted by the Verkhovna Rada.

To organize a strike, Ukrainian workers need permission from the owners of enterprises.

Therefore, Ukrainian workers organize either "Italian strikes" (work according to the rules), or, like the miners of the city of Krivoy Rog, they remain in the mines underground until their demands are met.
