The BYT-Batkivschyna faction again blocked the presidium of the Verkhovna Rada before the plenary session of parliament on Thursday.
An Interfax-Ukraine reporter said that about 30 deputies were in the presidium.
They also hung a banner reading "Yanukovych, Do Not Kill Yulia."
On Dec. 7 lawmakers from the BYT-Batkivschyna and Our Ukraine-People’s Self-Defense factions have demonstratively left the session hall of the Verkhovna Rada, refusing to participate in its plenary session.
The BYT-Batkivschyna faction in parliament re-elected its leadership at a meeting on Wednesday.
Kozhemiakin, who earlier served as the first deputy head of the faction, was elected as its head, in place of Kyrylenko.
