MP Artemenko banished from faction, - Radical Party member Mosiichuk

The Radical Party parliamentary faction has unanimously decided to expel Andrii Artemenko from its ranks.

Censor.NET reports referring to Radical Party member Ihor Mosiichuk's Facebook page.

"Tolerance for traitors breeds yet another treason! The faction of the Radical Party of Oleh Liashko has unanimously decided to expel Andrii Artemenko. We are working on stripping him of the deputy mandate," he wrote.

"Andrii Artemenko said he will renounce his mandate, if the Radical Party faction wants him to do so, after he confers with his wife. That's it. We'll do everything to deprive Andrii Artemenko of parliamentary powers!" Mosiichuk summed up.

As reported by The New York Times, Artemenko offered an alleged action plan to resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict to Michael Flynn, the former U.S. president's national security adviser. The plan stipulates the withdrawal of all Russian forces from eastern Ukraine and the launch of an all-Ukrainian referendum to decide whether Crimea could be leased to Russia for a term of 50 or 100 years.
