The pro-government party,&#8221; Ukolov noted.<\/p>\n<p> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1910lEEk4Gw&#038;t=882s<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/ice-shower-for-kyiv-american-intelligence-released-a-disappointing-report\/\">&#8220;Ice shower for Kyiv&#8221;: American intelligence released a disappointing report<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> He gave specific names of defectors from the Servant of the People faction, including Andriy Kholodov, Artem Dmytruk, and Oleksandr Kunytsky. At the same time, according to his data, not a single MP from European Solidarity, Holos, or Batkivshchyna left Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p> Ukolov also drew attention to the problem with the quorum in the monomajority, noting that during the vote on the budget in the first reading, only 195 deputies out of 229 were present, which raises the question of the whereabouts of more than 30 parliamentarians. The political scientist emphasized that the court decision is legal and must be implemented.<\/p>\n<p> We will remind, the Court of Appeal has put an end to the scandalous case of banning deputies from traveling abroad. The government resolution, which restricted the movement of people&#8217;s deputies, <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/rozbizhatsia-v-uriadi-ne-zmohly-poiasnyty-chomu-ne-vypuskaiut-deputativ-za-kordon\/\">was declared illegal after almost two years of legal proceedings<\/a> . The day before, lawyer Ihor Golovan published on social media the corresponding decision of the Sixth Administrative Court of Appeal in the case of the lawsuit of the fifth president and current people&#8217;s deputy Petro Poroshenko against the Cabinet of Ministers regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/fakt-hruboho-porushennia-advokat-holovan-opryliudnyv-rishennia-sudu-pro-blokuvannia-zakordonnykh-poizdok-poroshenka\/\">the illegal ban<\/a> on crossing the border.<\/p>\n<p> Meanwhile, during the hour of questions to the government, co-chairman of the European Solidarity faction, Artur Gerasimov, <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/vlada-oskarzhuie-rishennia-sudu-pro-nezakonne-blokuvannia-parlamentskoi-dyplomatii-deputat\/\">called on the authorities not to be ashamed<\/a> and to stop the illegal blocking of parliamentary diplomacy. Earlier, the EU stated that the court had actually confirmed that the authorities were acting illegally against the fifth president, and that the government&#8217;s resolutions were politically motivated and contrary to the principle of the rule of law. It is worth recalling that it was the government that was the author of the motion on sanctions against Poroshenko, which it is also challenging in court.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Twitter<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sixth Court of Appeal of Kyiv has ruled in favor of the fifth President of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, allowing deputies of all levels to travel abroad not only on official business trips.
