A member of parliament, Dmytruk, who had left the country, participated via video call in a committee meeting of the Verkhovna Rada and cast his vote

Ukrainian MP Artem Dmytruk, who left the country and is considered a suspect in several cases in Ukraine, participated in a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada’s law enforcement committee via video call and even voted.

This was first reported by the media, and later confirmed by Oleksiy Honcharenko, an MP from “European Solidarity,” on his Telegram channel.

According to the press, law enforcement officials also participated in the meeting online.

Dmytruk responded to the media reports on his Telegram.

“Shocking content: A member of parliament is performing his duties.”

Earlier, Dmytruk stated his intention to participate in the law enforcement committee’s meetings.

“They did remove me from the committee’s chat after the news of my departure, but the head of my committee, Serhiy Ionushas (“Sluga Naroda” – Ed.), assured me that I could join the next meeting remotely. Not allowing me to participate would be a violation of the law—hindering my duties as an MP,” Dmytruk said.

At the end of September, Dmytruk was detained in the UK, but a London court released the MP and denied Ukraine’s extradition request.
