Information is difficult to gather systematically, but President Viktor Yanukovych of Ukraine seems to have been using his power of veto quite actively in recent times.

In November 2010 he vetoed reforms to the tax code, reported here.

In March/early April he is reported to have vetoed the law “On the regulation of urban development”, the bill “On amending some laws of Ukraine to improve the procedure of procurement of state ordered publishing industry products”, as well as the law “On the Commercial Account of Natural Gas”.

In April 2011, there is a report here that he vetoed the law “On making of amendments to several laws of Ukraine to ensure the State support for development of the agriculture”, and his website reports that he also vetoed the bill “On amendments to Article 143 of the Family Code of Ukraine obliging unmarried fathers to collect their newborns at the maternity hospital if their mothers fail to do so”.

In May 2011 his website reports that he vetoed a bill “On Amending the Law of Ukraine ‘On Securities and Stock Market’ regarding the Financial Photo Gallery Monitoring of Professional Stock Market Participant”.

In June 2011 his website reports that he vetoed the law “On Amending the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Violations regarding the Responsibility for Contaminating Forests”.

In July 2011 he reportedly vetoed an amnesty law.

In July his website reports that he also vetoed the law “On Record Keeping and Technical Inventory of Real Estate”.

The president’s website now reports that he just vetoed five laws: “On Amending the Law of Ukraine On Public Procurements of Crude Oil and Oil Products”; “On Amending the Law of Ukraine On State Budget of Ukraine for 2011 regarding the Repayment of Debts to the State Budget of Ukraine Made under Sub-loans Granted to Power Generating Companies”; “On Amending Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine Concerning the Normalization of Relations between the Creditors and Consumers of Financial Services”; “On Amending the Land Code of Ukraine to Bring it in Compliance with the Code of Ukraine on Mineral Resources”; “On Amending Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine to Simplify the Procedure of Land Plots Allotment for the Purposes Related to Subsoil Use”.

Again, I am not claiming that this is an exhaustive list of vetoes, but most are mentioned in at least two sources, or one official source.
