Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada Volodymyr Groysman has condemned the actions of the people's deputy, who provoked a clash at the session hall during "an hour of questions to the Government of Ukraine" at the Ukrainian Parliament.
"That was an absolutely unacceptable action. I condemn it. That was wrong. None of that should ever take place in the walls of the Ukrainian legislature. This is the Parliament that must have proper level of political culture," the Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada said.
The Chairperson of the Ukrainian Parliament called for mutual understanding among people's deputies. "Everyone has physical strengths, however, that should be the last resort. I'd like everyone to take that in account," Groysman said.
"In this situation, everyone taking the floor, should use his/her wisdom and calm the situation down, instead of provoking it," the Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada said.
At the same time, Groysman thanked Chairperson of the Petro Poroshenko Bloc faction Yurii Lutsenko for his well-reasoned position as Lutsenko excused for the actions of the faction's people's deputy, who initiated the clash at the Verkhovna Rada.
