Quote: "As for MPs... they should do their job. They should be moral authorities. Unfortunately, this is not happening...

There is a percentage of people who vote, who work... They’ve voted for many reforms that will open up $50 billion in aid for Ukraine."

"He [an MP – ed.] is no different from a businessman who sets off fireworks on his birthday when the military is at war. I don’t divide these people [into categories]. I believe that, yes, all public officials should set a moral example. Unfortunately, this is not happening. I can’t dismiss them, because then there will be elections, and elections cannot be held during the war."

"I have done my best to ensure that these MPs, whatever they are like, did vote for all the anti-corruption laws so that anti-corruption activists will come to these MPs later. But this is happening and no one will stop it."
