In particular, Yulia Svyrydenko&#8217;s bills receive four times fewer votes than Denys Shmyhal&#8217;s proposals, which demonstrates the complete lack of normal communication between government officials and the legislative body, the political scientist added.<\/p>\n<p> The only way out of the situation can be the creation of a coalition of national unity and the formation of a new government, &#8211; emphasized Oleksandr Leonov.<\/p>\n<p> Recall that the fifth President Petro Poroshenko, during his speech in the Verkhovna Rada, stated that the crisis of public administration is deepening in Ukraine, and once again called for <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/petro-poroshenko-pro-prychyny-kryzy-derzhavnoho-upravlinnia-koruptsiia-i-totalna-nekompetentnist\/\">the creation of a coalition of national unity<\/a> and a government of national salvation, the priorities of which should be financing the Armed Forces of Ukraine, European integration reforms, and social support for vulnerable categories.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" data-right>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/suicide-government-how-to-quickly-get-out-of-the-parliamentary-crisis\/\">\u201cSuicide Government\u201d: How to Quickly Get Out of the Parliamentary Crisis<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> As is known, <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/hlukhyy-kut-u-radi-chomu-nardepy-masovo-vidmovliaiutsia-pratsiuvaty\/\">parliamentary activity has been threatened<\/a> by an acute crisis within the parliamentary body and a chronic lack of votes for decision-making. The next plenary session was canceled, which, according to political scientist Volodymyr Tsybulko, indicates deep internal contradictions among the elected representatives.<\/p>\n<p> In addition, the crisis in the Ukrainian parliament is deepening due to <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/front-zamist-mandata-navishcho-vlada-pohlybliuie-parlamentsku-kryzu\/\">ambiguous statements by the state&#8217;s top leadership<\/a> regarding sending to the front those deputies who plan to resign early.
