Ukrainians support broadcast of Verkhovna Rada sessions, – poll results
The majority of Ukrainians (about 65%) believe that journalists should have access to the sessions of the Verkhovna Rada even during the martial law. More than 57% of citizens support the idea of online broadcasting on the Rada TV channel.
According to the survey results, 11% of Ukrainians do not agree with the idea of journalists’ access to the sessions, while about 14% disagree with the need for broadcasts. It is worth noting that the positions of citizens of all regions are almost the same on these issues.
Due to the martial law, access to the parliament premises is difficult for journalists, and the TV channel Rada stopped live broadcasts of the sessions. It is noted that these restrictions are justified by security risks. With all that, information about the time and progress of sessions becomes known through publications and broadcasts of MPs on social networks.
Most of the time, the sessions of the parliament take place behind closed doors.

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.
