- doikor 4y ago> given that it's impossible to enforce it For some foreign journalist or diplomat sure but against a local journalist, maintenance crew, cleaner, etc who all most likely sign the exact same NDA for sure Ukraine can enforce it if the person is unable to escape the country (which for males aged 18 to 65 is really hard at the moment for example) edit: Also as a journalist if you actually do leak such information after signing a piece of paper saying you would not who would actually trust you with any kind of secret information in the future?
- jdrc 4y agoif you are a journalist and leak out endangering information you should never be trusted again, with or without an NDA

- b112 4y agoYet the NDA gives additional guideance as to what is sensitive.
- jdrc 4y agoFor Ukrainian willingly endangering the pres would amount to treason
- golergka 4y agoWithout signing NDA they would be able to (rightfully) pledge stupidity.
- sofixa 4y agoStupidity isn't a valid excuse against treason charges.
- gruez 4y agoI'm not sure how the legal system in Ukraine works but for criminal charges you typically you need to prove intent. "Stupidity" would probably be a valid excuse in that case because it implies lack of intent, at least pertaining to the charge of betraying the country.
- hnaccount_rng 4y agoI would love to be a fly on the wall when someone tries using that excuse in a war zone xD In a way I'm thankful for it. It means that most people never even came close to real consequences of their actions...
- simonh 4y agoSo no, er, but actually yes?
- rospaya 4y agoWhy is it impossible to enforce? Not sure I follow.
- formerly_proven 4y agohackernews trying not to be contrarian for five minutes challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
- jdrc 4y agoEvery opinion should be attacked from all angles to prove its validity. Saying that people are contrarian for expressing a counteropinion is asking for people not to attack a position, which would lead to false opinions being propagated.

- jollybean 4y agoDefinitely possible to enforce it. They have a functional legal system and a 'very active' counter intelligence team.
