Censor.NET reports citing presidential press service.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi called the reason for his decision to dissolve the Verkhovna Rada - due to the low level of public confidence.
"The main argument for dissolving the Verkhovna Rada is an extremely low trust of Ukrainian citizens in this institution - 4%. This is an assessment of the work of the parliament and the most important argument for terminating its powers. As guarantor of the Constitution, I am obliged to guarantee the rights of Ukrainian citizens. The legal basis for dissolution - since 2016 there has been no coalition", Zelenskyi said.
The press service noted that the date of the snap elections to the parliament was discussed during the meeting. "It will depend on the date of the President issuing a decree dissolving parliament", the message said.
"Moreover, the parties raised the issue of the release of Ukrainians from Russian captivity. Volodymyr Zelenskyi proposed to hold a separate conversation on the given issue with representatives of the team of the previous head of state," the presidential administration said.
