The Ukrainian parliament has passed a law on the return to the Constitution of 2004.
A total of 386 lawmakers voted for the relevant law on Friday, an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent reports.
The document was passed under simplified procedure without any
decision of the relevant committee and was passed in the first and the
second reading in one voting.
It was supported by 140 members of the Regions Party, 89 members of the
Batkivschyna Party, 40 from the UDAR Party, 32 of the Communist Party,
and 50 independent lawmakers.
The 2004 Constitution, which lasted till 2010, limits the
presidential powers and broadens those of the parliament and government.
