"Regarding the ministers, today there are no Verkhovna Rada resolutions as this could be initiated by the parliament, nor is there a motion regarding the prime minister yet," he said.

At the same time, he added that there is a draft resolution, initiated by Members of Parliament to dismiss Health Minister Maksym Stepanov.

"But I don't know if it could get the required number of votes… I think that today the Health Ministry cannot be left without the head. Because the challenges facing the state today are more than serious," he said.
