The Rada will welcome two new members from the Servant of the People party
The Central Election Commission has registered Bohdan Morklyanik and Viktoria Reznikova as members of the Ukrainian Parliament. They will replace Denys Maslov and Vitaliy Bezgin in the Verkhovna Rada, who have joined the new Cabinet of Ministers.
According to the CEC, Morklyanik and Reznikova were elected on the “Servant of the People” party list in the 2019 early parliamentary elections. They were listed as numbers 163 and 165, respectively, on the electoral list.
The newly elected parliamentarians will assume their duties as People’s Deputies after taking the oath of office in the Verkhovna Rada.

Prior to this, Bill No. 15431 was registered in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, which provides for a large-scale reform of the hunting industry, the digitization of the sector, and changes to hunting regulations. At the same time, the bill has already drawn sharp criticism from animal rights and environmental organizations, which are calling on members of parliament to reject it as early as the first reading.
As a reminder, the Verkhovna Rada prematurely terminated the mandates of MPs Denys Maslov and Vitaliy Bezgin, who were members of the “Servant of the People” faction. Parliament adopted the relevant resolutions at a plenary session on July 17.
