"Today is a very important day and I want us to live this day honorably and with dignity," Parubii said. He added that "this is not just a reformatting of the Government, this is the evidence that Ukraine as a state can overcome the most complicated challenges in the times when occupants stay on the territory of our country."
Parubii warned his parliamentary colleagues against attempts to struggle with each other saying, "the most horrible over the whole period of our work was our confrontation between each other the confrontation between the political forces which always led to the ruining of the Ukrainian state."
Parubii noted, "Ukraine must be strong to win this war and be able to counteract any challenges."
He reminded that exactly two years ago, when he occupied the position of the National Security and Defense Council's Secretary, he signed the decree on start of the anti-terrorist operation.
"Before we were on Maidan Nezalezhnosti square together. We won thanks to being united, thanks to remaining one whole Maidan. The challenge is the same today," Parubii said.
According to the Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada, today "we have a unique situation: for the first time over 25 year of Ukraine's independence we have pro-European majority and Ukrainian pro-European opposition."
Today, as any other civilized European state — both the coalition and the opposition have similar vision of the fundamental things for the Ukrainian state: access to the European Union, NATO, external policy, and victory in current war.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has always been the place thanks to which we showed our ability to change the authorities, Parubii said. He noted that the cooperation between the Ukrainian legislature and the society had to be intensified.
