Lawmakers from the faction of the Bloc of Yulia Tymoshenko (BYuT), who were blocking the rostrum and presidium of the Verkhovna Rada on Tuesday, have removed their posters and left the session hall of the Ukrainian parliament.

An Interfax-Ukraine reporter said that Our Ukraine-People’s Self-Defense (OU-PSD) parliament members had also walked out of the session hall.

BYuT deputies started blocking the work of parliament at around 1600, before the start of its evening session.

As a result, the evening session of the Verkhovna Rada has not begun.
