In his speech in the Verkhovna Rada on Tuesday, European Solidarity party leader Petro Porosenko urged the goverment to allocate funds for military brigades to get them more reconnaissance drones. He spoke of the dire situation on the front lines and criticized the inefficiency of the government’s response.
“Look at today’s agenda .. while the situation on the front has never been so difficult—not even in March 2022,” said Poroshenko.
He revealed that the Ukrainian troops army faces critical shortages of reconnaissance equipment at the fronts where they need them most – Pokrovsk and Kupyansk.
“One thousand drones were promised. Meanwhile, 100 billion remains in the accounts of those managing funds, proving the inefficiency and corruption of the ruling majority. I urge you: return the money to the brigades. Allocate 50 billion to their accounts. Tens of thousands of drones must be purchased. Help the army,” Porošenko appealed.
The former president also called for stripping pro-Russian politicians of their parliamentary mandates and holding them accountable for their anti-Ukrainian activities.
“If we leave today without including bill 8089, which bans the activities of the ‘fifth column,’ in the agenda, this will all be ineffective. If you fail to consider resolution 7694 to strip them of their mandates—because they represent neither the Ukrainian state nor the Ukrainian people—they have no place in this hall. This will be a missed opportunity. I am convinced that those working for Putin must face justice and be held accountable,” Porošenko declared.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
