UOC Protodeacon Vadim Novinsky reports on his Facebook page that he is leaving the Verkhovna Rada.
The protodeacon noted that he will engage in humanitarian, social and industrial-economic activities.
"I have decided to resign as a people's deputy of Ukraine to focus on humanitarian projects, the development of the national economy, the service to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the restoration of destroyed churches. I will pay special attention to projects of post-war economic revival of Ukraine as an industrial, high-tech and highly educated country," Vadim Novinsky wrote.
As earlier reported, the Vadim Novinsky Foundation donated 50 tonnes of food to war victims.
