EU to support dissolution of Ukrainian parliament in accordance with Constitution

Vice-President of the European Commission Maroš Šefčovič made a corresponding statement at a briefing in Kyiv, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"Indeed, this decision [on dissolution of the parliament] has been announced today. I listened attentively to the inaugural speech of the new President. In this regard, the interest of the European Union lies in the fact that the high-quality democratic behavior that was demonstrated during the presidential race and the elections should be kept so that Ukraine would further demonstrate the democratic behavior of such a high level. We will support any decision that meets the will of the Ukrainian people and is in accordance with the Ukrainian Constitution," Šefčovič said.

As reported, on Monday, Zelensky took the oath in the Parliament of Ukraine and officially assumed office as the President of Ukraine. While delivering his speech, Zelensky declared the dissolution of the Parliament and proposed that the Cabinet of Ministers should resign.
