DNIPROPETROVSK/KYIV - Ukrainian parliamentarians Andriy Denysenko, Vitaliy Kupriy, Valentyn Didych and Oleksandr Dubinin have left the Petro Poroshenko Bloc faction.

According to Denysenko, their decision to leave was due to the discrediting of the Dnipropetrovsk regional leadership and the coalition agreement not being executed, an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent quoted him as saying at a press conference in Dnipropetrovsk on March 23.

“Somebody wants to quarrel with Poroshenko, Kolomoisky. I believe that the president will deal with that, take [the situation] under personal control and estimate what is going on today,” Dubinin said.

According to Didych, “there is a purposeful discrediting of region’s administration.”

Kupriy said on his Facebook page said that he was leaving the faction because he “no longer agrees with the president’s policies,” and he urged other Petro Poroshenko Bloc MPs to “follow his steps and set up a new faction within the parliament to fulfill the promises made during the parliamentary election campaign.”
