Paragraph 42
 

Chapter VIII does not seem to pose any serious problems.  Again, the excessive complexity and length of some articles may be underlined.  For instance, the principle stated in Article 40.7 (election campaign may be conducted in any form and using any means that shall not contradict the constitutional and legal Ukrainian framework) would possibly render useless the Article 40.2[10].  On the other hand, there is a ban on the ability to campaign and distribute any campaign materials (which appears, at the very least, excessive), including persons who are not citizens of Ukraine, civil servants, or charitable organisations and religious associations (in fact, this is clearly a mistake, because the latter are included twice in Article 40.5).
