How Ukrainian Parliament works during the war?

From the first days of the large-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian propaganda was actively promoting the disinfo messages that both Ukrainian president and the parliament have already left Ukraine and abandoned their people. However, the President stayed in Kyiv – and so did Ukrainian MPs.

Barricaded with bags of sand, the building of Ukrainian parliament is under current risk of Russiab missile and drone attacks. However, the members of Ukrainian parliament continues to vote and make vital political decisions.

While the building of Verkhovna Rada remains one of the key targets of Russia as a symbol of Ukrainian sovereignty, it is vitally important for all the democratical processes to continu. That is also a powerful symbol that life in Ukraine goes on – even in the darkest hour.
