Ukrainian parliament member Maryana Bezugla has once again joined the parliamentary faction of Servant of the People. This was announced during a session of the Verkhovna Rada on August 18 by the first deputy speaker of the parliament, Oleksandr Korniyenko.
- In accordance with the submitted statement, I report the entry of Ukrainian MP Maryana Volodymyrivna Bezuhla into the deputies' faction of the political party “Servant of the People.” Welcome, Maryana Volodymyrivna, — he said, not concealing a smile.
In her Telegram channel, Bezuhla wrote that she returned to “Servant of the People” to create a special commission on military justice that cannot be headed by a non-faction MP, and also to have a stable right to participate in all meetings.
- I won’t stay silent there. Maybe this is temporary, — she said.
Maryana Bezuhla left the Servant of the People faction two years ago — in July 2024. This happened after she began publicly criticizing the highest military leadership.
Specifically in the fall 2023 she stated that the then supreme commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, did not have a "war plan" for 2024 year. Shortly after Zaluzhnyi’s dismissal, she began writing critical posts about the new commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi.
Bezuhla rejoined “Servant of the People” almost a month after Mikhaïlo Drapato was appointed commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. However, at the Tuesday session, Maryana Bezuhla came with a tablet bearing the words “Let’s bring back Fedorov,” referring to the then-reported resignation from the post of Minister of Defense of Ukraine in 15 July.
Despite being expelled from the Servant of the People faction, Bezuhla attended meetings of faction MPs with the president, which she herself wrote about on social media.
Maryana Bezuhla left the Servant of the People faction – colleagues joke that the “epoch is over.”
Previously, in February 2024, Bezuhla was expelled from the Servant of the People party at her own request.
