Russia has recently changed its tactic in using cruise-propelled unmanned aerial vehicles. In Kyiv, air raid sirens have been going off more than 10 times a day.
In connection with this, the Verkhovna Rada plans to work during threats. This is what the Ukrainian parliament announced in its own social networks.
What is known about the decision?
The apparatus of the Verkhovna Rada is taking all measures to ensure the deputies can work without interruption. The lawmakers will continue the sessions directly in the building on Mykhailo Hrushevsky Street, 5. The Rada is developing special steps intended to minimize pauses in the lawmaking process.
“RBC-Ukraine,” citing its sources, writes that deputies are considering the option of voting during air-raid sirens. Legislators may make decisions thanks to phones.
In the Verkhovna Rada they are looking for a solution that would allow not leaving the building during air alerts, and would instead simply go to shelter and continue the sessions. During voting in such conditions, MPs may use a mobile application with personal verification that would record that the deputy is in the Rada. However, a final decision has not yet been made.
Recall that the parliamentarians complained that they could not work because of constant air-raid alerts. According to deputy Mykyta Poturaev, because of the alerts, sometimes only one document could be passed during a session.
The media spread information about the possible relocation of meetings to a safer place. However, Speaker of the Parliament Ruslan Stefanchuk denied these rumors and stated that MPs would not seek special conditions for themselves and would work at their usual place.
