ATO Deputies: It Is a Crime to Block the Tribune

MPs who fought in the ATO from different factions say that it is a crime to block the tribune of the parliament of a country at war, Ukrinform reports.

The statement says that the situation at the frontline has escalated, as Russian mercenaries have used Grad rocket launchers for the first time in weeks. "Our brothers in arms are defending the external front in the east of the country, so we must also defend our internal front here, in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine," Speaker Andriy Parubiy read aloud.

The statement also says, that "those who use any excuse to prevent the parliament from working are playing into the hands of the enemy, knowingly or unknowingly."
