In early April, State Duma deputy Andrei Lugovoi told journalists that parliament was ready to pass a law regulating the mining industry by the end of 2023.
This week, Anatoly Aksakov, head of the Financial Market Committee, did not rule out that the bill will be passed as early as June.
In an interview with RIA Novosti news agency, the deputy noted that in the next few days the relevant committee will approve the law and submit it to the lower house of parliament for consideration in May.
