Zelensky demands that Rada save Ukraine from economic coma

President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky actually demanded that the Rada continue to work in the plenary mode, rather than go to quarantine, as planned earlier. This is stated in his video message released on the evening of March 16. Zelensky stressed that changing the work plan of the Rada is unacceptable at the moment, as rapid reforms are an ambulance for the economy. Now, in the face of a global pandemic and the threat of a global financial crisis, Ukraine's parliament must adopt vital laws for the economy. Introduce tax, land, labour reforms. To appoint ministers and the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, the President said. According to him, without these measures Ukraine will have an economic coma. At such times, all people's deputies must realize responsibility. At such times if you block not the rostrum you block the lives of Ukraine, Zelensky said. The news agency recalls that Zelensky instructed to tighten the quarantine as much as possible throughout Ukraine, up to the prohibition of movements and the closure of the metro. The Government will consider the matter at a meeting this evening. Earlier it was reported that the Rada will change the schedule of work to hold extraordinary meetings in the morning of March 17, after which meetings in plenary mode are cancelled until April 3.
