Head of State Volodymyr Zelensky spoke harshly about the crisis in the Ukrainian parliament, emphasizing that deputies will have to work, and otherwise he is ready to initiate a review of changes to mobilization so that they can fight.
Points of attention
- Zelenskyy prepares to meet with the head of the Servant of the People faction to address the crisis in the Verkhovna Rada.
- Legislative changes and elections are discussed as potential solutions, but deemed impossible during the ongoing war.
Zelensky may initiate mobilization of deputies
People's deputies will either have to serve in parliament in accordance with Ukrainian law, or I am ready to negotiate with parliament representatives a law on changes to mobilization so that deputies can go to the front. If you don't serve the state in parliament, then serve the state at the front.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine
According to the head of state, this is his approach to the current situation.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy also officially confirmed that there is also an alternative scenario for solving the problem with voting in parliament.
What is important to understand is that we are talking about changes to legislation and holding elections, but as the president noted, they are impossible during war.
He drew attention to the fact that opposition factions often do not vote for important bills, for example, those related to financial support from the IMF, the unblocking of 90 billion euros from the EU, or those necessary for European integration.
Against this background, the Ukrainian leader announced his meeting with the head of the Servant of the People faction, David Arakhamia — they will discuss ways to overcome the crisis in the Verkhovna Rada.
