MP Denysenko quits UKROP over party's stance on Novynskyi's immunity

Independent MP Andrii Denysenko is set to leave UKROP party after it refused to support the lifting of parliamentary immunity from Opposition Bloc MP Vadym Novynskyi.

Censor.NET reports referring to Denysenko's Facebook page.

"Since no one except me from UKROP members voted for the prosecution of this Putin's agent - and it was the party's position announced to me during several phone conversations - I can't find any reason to call this party patriotic and continue staying in its ranks any longer. From now on, not only I am independent but also nonpartisan. As for Novynskyi, I hope he will go to jail in the end," Denysenko wrote.
