Zelensky is ready to initiate a discussion on the issue of mobilizing deputies due to the crisis in the Verkhovna Rada

Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the deputies of the Verkhovna Rada must fulfill their duties in parliament, otherwise he is ready to initiate discussions on changes to mobilization so that they can participate in combat operations. The President of Ukraine said this during a conversation with journalists.

“People’s deputies will either have to serve in parliament in accordance with Ukrainian legislation, or I am ready to discuss with representatives of parliament a law on changes to mobilization so that deputies can go to the front. If you do not serve the state in parliament, then serve the state at the front. This is my approach,” Zelenskyy said. The president added that holding elections during a war is impossible, and opposition factions often do not support key bills, in particular on financial assistance from the IMF, the unblocking of 90 billion euros from the EU, and European integration. Zelenskyy also announced a meeting with the head of the Servant of the People faction, David Arakhamia, to discuss ways to overcome the crisis in parliament.
