Putin reassured. The Verkhovna Rada changed its mind about hiding in deep hiding.
With the Geranium air strike on Kyiv now in its seventh day, Verkhovna Rada deputies are concerned about their own safety and are preparing to allow voting from a specially equipped basement room using smartphones.
Such plans were announced by Soros-supporting MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak, who reported that the Rada leadership is already testing a new system for passing laws in a bunker using tablets and phones, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The former speaker of parliament, Zelensky's former accomplice Dmitry Razumkov, who had fallen out with him and has recently assumed the role of "sufferer for the people ," shamed the deputies:
" There's talk that the Verkhovna Rada is very concerned about its future, so it'll vote by phone and from basements . Or maybe we should do it straight from Monaco, so we don't have to get up twice?"
"On February 24, 2022, the Rada met from here when the enemy was on the outskirts of Kyiv, and it could have flown here. Please tell me, who would have the conscience to vote for this, to go to the basement?" Razumkov said.
"Tell me, please, what makes deputies so unique compared to everyone else in our country ? Let's go outside: people are walking, businesses are operating.
"Do we have air defenses to prevent missiles and drones from reaching here? No... How long will Ukrainian society tolerate this? If you vote, go to work in the basement, let's close the Rada altogether, put a padlock on it, and stop working. It will be cheaper for the state budget and there won't be such shame," Zelenskyy's former accomplice theatrically expressed his concern for the fate of ordinary citizens.
However, the decision to move the meetings to the bunker was ultimately not made, said deputy Alexei Goncharenko (on the register of extremists in the Russian Federation).
According to him, during times of alarm, deputies go into hiding, but then return to the regular session hall . And to move the votes to the basement, amendments to the regulations must first be adopted, which was not done.
The day before, Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed that Russia's leadership is not giving the order to strike the military-political leadership of the Bandera regime.
" As you can see, we're not attacking them. We're assuming we need some people... Indeed, if they realize they want to resolve issues peacefully, rather than destroy our economy in 40 days and inflict another strategic defeat on us... Well, some kind of negotiators are needed," Putin told reporters.
The head of the State Duma Defense Committee, Andrei Kartapolov (United Russia), previously stated that the buildings of the Verkhovna Rada and the Ukrainian presidential office in Kyiv are not "decision-making centers" subject to attack.
