At the same time, BYuT lawmakers are doing their best to prevent voting on the draft legislation to oust the Speaker. Top Deputy Speaker Oleksander Lavrynovych (Party of Regions), who chairs the plenary session, tried to put the draft legislation for voting. It stipulates to oust the Verkhovna Rada Speaker over a voting in the session hall and not through a procedure of secret voting, as stipulated by the parliamentary regulations.

Earlier BYuT and Party of Regions lawmaker penetrated into the room with parliament’s mainframe, scuffled there and broke the glass screens and door of the room.
