Party of Regions faction member Oleksander Stoyan, speaking in the Verkhovna Rada, called on Speaker Arseniy Yatseniuk to apologize to farmers and peasants who work hard but receive kopecks for a liter of milk. In the opinion of the lawmaker, the statement of the Speaker, who said that people unable to work in parliament should go working at farms, insult the hard work of peasants.

Yatseniuk has answered that he really has a clear impression that “I often work at a farm. Because the pigden in this hall [in the session hall of the Verkhovna Rada] often has no limits”.
