According to Ukrinform, the faction's spokeswoman, Yuliia Paliichuk, said this on Telegram.

"The Servant of the People faction does not agree with the agenda proposed by the Verkhovna Rada for the current plenary week and offers its own version to the conciliatory council. It includes a ready-to-consider anti-oligarchic package. These are bills No. 5599 on oligarchs and No. 5600 on payments to the budget," she wrote.
