Radical Party leader Oleh Lyashko suggests that early elections to the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine’s parliament, will take place on July 21.

“I will be brief – there is nothing to comment on. The consultations [between heads of parliamentary factions and new president Volodymyr Zelenskiy] have passed. The snap elections will be held. I think the early elections will take place tentatively on July 21,” Lyashko told reporters after the consultations.

He suggested that a presidential decree on the dissolution of the parliament would be made public soon.
