In the Verkhovna Rada, the meeting that was supposed to take place on November 22 was canceled due to the threat of a Russian attack on the government quarter. This was reported by Ukrainian Pravda on Thursday, November 21, with reference to sources among people’s deputies.

As People’s Deputy Oleksiy Goncharenko reported, the planned question hour for the government, during which the deputies were supposed to discuss the government’s decision, will not take place.
People’s deputy Iryna Gerashchenko confirmed that the meeting was postponed.
“Today, when the requests to the president were announced, the hall was already half empty. Let me remind you that kindergartens, schools, shops, hospitals are working. In case of alarm, go to shelter. It is difficult to explain why the meeting of the Verkhovna Rada was cancelled. Where, by the way, they had to listen to challenges in foreign policy. It was a great opportunity to discuss how to oppose Putin externally together with the government,” said the People’s Deputy.
