Zelensky Cancels Planned Meeting With Servant of the People as Deputies Report Tensions
A lawmaker now alleges Zelensky used a crude insult for faction MPs, a claim yet to be independently verified.
Overview
- Deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak said the meeting the president sought with his Servant of the People faction for this week was called off.
- Zheleznyak previously noted it would have been the second such session requested by Zelensky in a month, slated for Tuesday through Thursday.
- Zheleznyak added that the timing of any future gathering is unclear and that questions submitted by MPs may or may not receive government replies.
- Deputy Aleksey Goncharenko claimed Zelensky called his party’s MPs “destructive debils” and said no further faction meetings are planned, with these assertions lacking independent corroboration.
- Ukrainska Pravda earlier reported Zelensky warned his MPs they might face “difficult decisions” if the military situation worsens, and RIA noted Goncharenko is listed as a terrorist and extremist.
