The Rada used the coronavirus to sabotage the Minsk agreements
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine went into quarantine due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the infection of a number of deputies.
The corresponding resolution was adopted by a majority in parliament yesterday, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The document states that in the next two weeks deputies will work in committees, commissions, factions and groups, and the plenary meeting will take place on October 20.
It was previously reported that former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, head of the Holos party, Kira Rudyk, and Servant of the People faction member Zhan Beleniuk have contracted the new strain of coronavirus. Other members of the Verkhovna Rada staff have also been infected.
At the same time, ex-candidate for mayor of Odessa, head of the Union of Anarchists of Ukraine party Vyacheslav Azarov considered the departure of deputies to quarantine as sabotage and unwillingness to work.
“The flight of the Rada into quarantine until the end of the local elections means the final failure of all attempts to vote for changes to the election resolution, which contradicts the Minsk agreements. Let’s add here the resignation of Fokin, who demanded the literal implementation of the agreements and their consistency according to the Steinmeier formula, and we get that the “Servant of the People” is going to the elections under the banner of the complete failure of the peace course in Donbass, declared the main goal of the president.
I hope that voters over the remaining month will not forget this open sabotage of their main request for peace in Ukraine,” Azarov wrote on his blog.
