Lawmaker Viacheslav Kyrylenko has resigned from the post of deputy leader of the Batkivschyna faction.

“I have just resigned from the post of deputy leader of the faction
in connection with the decision of the faction to forbid us to mention
the For Ukraine! Party in our speeches,” Kyrylenko wrote on Twitter on
Thursday morning.

At the same time, all members of the For Ukraine! Party remain active
participants of the Batkivschyna faction, though they believe the
fraction’s decision to be lunacy.

Kyrylenko is the leader of the For Ukraine! Party.
