While deputies waited for government officials in parliament, part of the Cabinet went to Bukovel for the Carpathian Summit. Meanwhile, in Prykarpattia security measures were strengthened in the morning and there were traffic problems on the roads.
18 September the planned “Hour of Questions to the Government” did not take place in the Verkhovna Rada. Deputies were supposed to ask government officials questions, including about education during the war, the work of the military enlistment and conscription centers (TCC), social payments, and support for educators in frontline regions.
Parliamentarians say they were informed about the cancellation of the event practically at the last moment.
MP Oleksandr Kachura said that instead of answering deputies’ questions, some government officials went to the Carpathian Summit in Bukovel.
Why answer questions about whether there will be additional payments to educators who work every day under the shelling, under rockets in my native Sumy region, and in other border regions? No, none of that is necessary
Oleksandr Kachura
Yaroslav Zhelezniak also reacted to the situation: “Aaaa… they went to Bukovel. Great planning — deputies were only told in the morning.”
A large international summit is taking place in Bukovel
The Carpathian Summit Carpathian 8 Summit is taking place 18–20 September in Bukovel. It is attended by representatives of the Carpathian region countries, the EU, international organizations, business, and investors. Topics include security, economic development, investment, and cross-border cooperation.
In Prykarpattia today there were also reports of traffic restrictions and heightened security measures in connection with official events.
Meanwhile, on social media users who are in Bukovel are discussing the increased security measures and traffic restrictions around the resort. Some posters link this to the holding of the Carpathian Summit.
Among the summit locations is Glacier
A portion of the summit program is scheduled at Glacier Premium Apartments. In particular, 19 September participants of the Youth Congress are to move there — the complex provides registration and the main working part of the event.
Glacier has already been in the spotlight more than once. Earlier, an investigation by Bihus.Info found that among the owners of apartments in the complex are relatives of several prosecutors and close associates of a number of officials. After the investigation was published, the Prosecutor General ordered an internal inquiry into the acquisition of luxury real estate by prosecutors’ relatives.
After the complex opened, complaints from guests about service and prices also appeared on social media.
So today’s situation raises an obvious question: why was the “Hour of Questions” to the government not held in parliament, while some government officials ended up at the Carpathian Summit in Bukovel?
