MP Illya Kiva was expelled from the pro-Russian Opposition Platform – For Life party. He announced his expulsion from the party in a video published by journalist Andriy Pavlovsky on Facebook.

The decision to expel Kiva was made at a conference of Poltava regional organization of Opposition Platform – For Life. The MP himself believes that this decision was made on the initiative of Yuriy Boiko and Serhiy Lyovochkin.

“I did not give them the opportunity to merge and sell the batch, forge documents. Maybe they really do not like my position in relation to Nazi criminals or the President of the Russian Federation. This is a normal story, we have the right to our point of view and position. I am ready as to dialogue and to abrupt uncompromising actions,” Kiva said.

He said he is now awaiting a decision to expel him from the faction.
