Verkhovna Rada approved submission by the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine to launch criminal proceedings against Oleksandr Onyshchenko, an MP from Volya Narodu parliamentary group
Ihor Hryniv, Leader of the Petro Poroshenko Bloc parliamentary faction, has expressed disapproval of the Supreme Court of Ukraine’s decision to cancel the Parliamentary resolution to dissolve the village council in Kotsiubynske and hold elections there.
It will soon be impossible to prosecute judges who put Maidan protesters in jail, as the three-year statute of limitations will expire in three and a half months.
Detentions of state officials last week are just the first step in removing corruption from the government, Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman stresses.
The Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Andriy Parubiy said to journalists there was a risk that the Parliament won’t promptly consider the appointment of new members of the Central Election Commission.
Ukrainian Parliament Chairman Andriy Parubiy would be in favor of removing the special status of non-government-controlled areas of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts from the draft amendments to the Constitution concerning decentralization.
Speaker Andriy Parubiy counts on law enforcement agencies not to let MP Oleksandr Onyshchenko out of Ukraine while the Verkhovna Rada is going through the procedure of lifting his immunity.
