Some deputies opposed the cancellation of the elections

The group “Restoration of Ukraine” did not participate in signing the document that proposed the postponement of both parliamentary and presidential elections in Ukraine until after the war.

Member of Parliament Evgeniy Shevchenko made this statement on his social media accounts. He described the signed document as an unconstitutional act that assumes the powers of the Constitutional Court.

Certainly, from a legal standpoint, this document contradicts the Constitution and appears to aim at seizing authority. Surprisingly, it has not been voted on as a resolution by the Verkhovna Rada. Notably, Speaker Stefanchuk’s signature is absent.

Earlier, it was reported that all other parliamentary factions and groups had signed this document. The leaders agreed on a declaration stipulating that elections in Ukraine, both presidential and parliamentary, should not occur until the war concludes. These elections will not take place until at least six months after the martial law is lifted.
