On Thursday, the Verkhovna Rada dismissed Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food Mykola Solsky.
According to MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak (Golos faction) on his Telegram channel, the bill on Solsky’s resignation, registered by a group of deputies of the Batkivshchyna faction led by its leader Yulia Tymoshenko on April 24, was supported by 273 deputies with the required minimum of 226 votes.
According to Zhelezniak, Solsky unexpectedly came to the parliament and made a report on his work as minister before his resignation.
MP Oleksiy Honcharenko (European Solidarity faction) said at the time of Solsky’s speech in the Rada that the Committee on Agrarian Policy did not support his resignation, but suggested that the issue be decided in the hall.
