Ukrainian MPs blocked the rostrum of the Verkhovna Rada to demand a vote on the resignation of Deputy Speaker Mariana Bezuhla.

Today, the rostrum was blocked in the Verkhovna Rada, as MPs wanted to put to a vote a resolution to dismiss Mariana Bezuhla from her position as deputy chair of the National Security and Defense Committee. After that, the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, Ruslan Stefanchuk, announced the end of the parliamentary session. UNN reports this with reference to MPs Oleksiy Honcharenko and Yaroslav Zheleznyak.
