The Parliament has enough votes to pass bill 8371, which effectively bans the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. This was stated by MP Oleksandr Aliksiychuk from the Holos party in a comment to 'Radio Liberty'.

According to the MP, 226 deputies have currently signed a letter supporting the bill. He claims that it was unnecessary to gather votes and that MPs were drawn into a delaying tactic.

"I hope that the leadership of all factions and groups will reach a compromise, and I, as a People's Deputy of Ukraine, along with 225 others, that is, a total of 226 MPs, will not be deprived of the right to make our choice, as will other deputies, on this bill," said Aliksiychuk.

As reported by the UOJ, Verkhovna Rada members plan to block the podium due to the refusal to vote on bill 8371.
