A wake was held in the Rada for the punisher who shot himself
Deputies from two Verkhovna Rada factions, the BPP and Oleh Lyashko's Radical Party, called for the Rada session's recess to be replaced by a memorial service for Ukrainian pilot Vladislav Voloshin, who shot himself.
The initiator of the minute of silence was the deputy of the Petro Poroshenko Bloc faction, David Makaryan.
“Dear colleagues, on Saturday a tragedy occurred in Nikolaev - the hero of the ATO, military pilot Vladislav Voloshin, died. We ask you to remember the hero with a minute of silence... The head of the Nikolaev regional administration appealed to people's deputies to take control of the investigation. We appeal to law enforcement agencies, to the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko, to the Minister of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov to take control of the investigation and inform about the investigation,” Makaryan said.
Vice Speaker Irina Gerashchenko assured that the entire parliament joins the call of deputies, and on behalf of all parliamentarians expressed condolences to the family of the deceased pilot.
The name of the deceased appears in the testimony of a Ukrainian serviceman who testified in Russia that the Malaysian Boeing was shot down by an attack aircraft piloted by Voloshin.
As PolitNavigator previously reported, the Ukrainian pilot has repeatedly written on his blog about the lack of wages for soldiers, the lack of support, and other chaos within the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The Rada held a memorial service for the self-inflicted executioner.
