The Batkivschyna Party's faction in Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada is ready to accept early parliamentary elections after a law is passed regarding the proportional-representation system with open lists, and the anti-terrorist operation ends in the east of the country, faction leader Serhiy Sobolev said.

“The Batkivschyna faction hereby declares that we accept the early
parliamentary elections and believe that under these conditions the only
way to hold these elections is to pass a law on the
proportional-representation elections based on open lists,” Sobolev said
from the parliamentary rostrum.

The second condition is “an immediate restoration of order and the
completion of the liberation of Ukraine’s territory from Russian
invaders and terrorists who support them,” he said.
