Deputy Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine Denys Kurbatov believes that the implementation of certain provisions in the Law "On Academic Integrity" may face challenges.

"This is certainly a significant step forward, as no such law existed previously. However, I agree that implementing some norms could be problematic. Why? Because the law specifies the year or moment from which they apply. It turns out that everything prior to that seemingly did not exist, even though plenty of problems actually remain," Kurbatov said in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine, addressing criticism of the law from the anti-plagiarism community.
