The Verkhovna Rada is changing its operating format due to constant air raid alerts
The Secretariat of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine is taking additional measures to ensure the uninterrupted operation of Parliament amid frequent air raid alerts. These changes are related to new tactics in Russian air attacks, which are increasingly disrupting the Rada’s work.
“In light of the constant air raid alerts, the Secretariat of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine is taking all necessary measures to ensure the uninterrupted operation of Parliament at the Verkhovna Rada building (5 Mykhailo Hrushevsky Street),” the statement reads.
This was reported with reference to the Verkhovna Rada.
The Verkhovna Rada has reappointed Andriy Sibiga as Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Ukraine needs to develop a mechanism for holding elections even in wartime, ensuring the right to vote for all citizens. This opinion was expressed on August 18 by former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.
As a reminder, on August 18, the Verkhovna Rada received nominations from President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to appoint Yevhen Khmara as Ukraine’s Minister of Defense and Andriy Sibiga as Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The Verkhovna Rada prematurely terminated the mandates of People’s Deputies 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.
