Ukrainian opposition party Batkyvshchyna will move to dissolve parliament and call early elections, party leader Oleksandr Turchynov said on Monday.

Ukrainian opposition party Batkyvshchyna will move to dissolve parliament and call early elections, party leader Oleksandr Turchynov said on Monday.

Ukraine has no need for a parliament that simply votes as the president tells it to, he said.

“Ukraine has no need for such a Supreme Rada so our faction will submit to parliament a draft resolution on the early dissolution of parliament and holding early elections,” he said.

Presidential instructions are often “unlawful, anti-constitutional,” while the pro-presidential majority in parliament “is ready to vote for anything,” Turchynov said.
