Source Ruslan Stefanchuk, Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Ukrainian parliament, in an interview with Ukrinform Quote About 20 MPs of the current convocation have been involved in military service in one form or another.

Quote Parliament is a crosssection of society, and it is equally involved in decisionmaking as it is in direct combat.
I sincerely believe that this parliament will soon transform from a parliament of war into a parliament of a victorious country.
I want our victory very much, as does our entire society, and I hope it will happen.
