According to her, there was supposed to be a professional discussion, but 45 minutes of the working time of the Ministry of Defense representatives were wasted due to the conflict.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Bezugla disrupted the closed meeting of the Committee, refusing to leave the room and violating the regulations of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine,&#8221; Friz emphasized.<\/p>\n<p> She also recalled that Bezuglu had previously been expelled from the National Security Committee due to leaks of information from previous closed discussions. At that time, the military leadership effectively refused to participate in the committee&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n<p> Due to the disruption of the meeting, the deputies were forced to switch to an open format and listen only to the public part of the defense minister&#8217;s presentation. This, according to Friese, significantly limited the opportunities for a frank conversation about the real state of affairs with the financing of the army.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;There should have been a discussion on issues key to our defense capability, but we have lost valuable time. This is unacceptable in a time of war,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p> Earlier, <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/antysotsialna-povedinka-rehlamentnyy-komitet-pohodyv-usunennia-bezuhloi-z-zasidan-verkhovnoi-rady\/\">the Rules Committee approved Bezuglaya&#8217;s removal<\/a> from the Verkhovna Rada sessions.
