Ukrainian politicians Viktor Medvedchuk, Taras Kozak, Renat Kuzmin and Andriy Derkach are deprived of deputy mandates by the decision of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. This is reported by the Ukrainian edition of "Strana". Earlier, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky deprived Medvedchuk of, Cossack, Kuzmin and Derkach citizenship of Ukraine.
The constitutional majority of the Rada voted for the exclusion of the listed politicians from the deputy corps - 300 deputies. Earlier on, that the issue of depriving politicians of mandates will be put to a vote by the Rada, reported by many Ukrainian media. In fact, such a development of events was already a foregone conclusion., since persons deprived of citizenship of Ukraine cannot be deputies of its legislative body.
Recall, that the listed politicians represented the Opposition Platform - For Life party, which was strongly associated in Ukraine with Viktor Medvedchuk. Previously, the party itself was banned as pro-Russian., among a number of other opposition political organizations.
In this way, Zelensky actually carried out a cleansing of the political field of the country, leaving freedom of activity only for pro-presidential and nationalist parties.
Interestingly, Deputy Igor Abramovich was not deprived of his deputy mandate, although he was also previously part of the banned HLE, and after the start of a special military operation, he left the territory of Ukraine and returned to the country only the other day. Saved the deputy mandate and Vadim Stolar, who also returned to Ukraine, what the Ukrainian mass media reported a day ago. used photos:Wikipedia / Vadim Chuprina
