The decision was supported by a mere 183 MPs out of the 316 registered in the session hall, while the minimum required is 226 votes.

The Opposition Bloc, the Radical Party, which blocked the rostrum, and the Volia Narodu ["Will of the People"] parliamentary factions did not vote at all.

Only one member of the Vidrodzhennia ["Renaissance"] faction voted for the bill.

The parliament also did not support the proposal to return the bill for repeat first reading, therefore it is considered rejected.
