According to the document, Article 60 of the Rules of the Verkhovna Rada was supplemented with a new part six: "

The Cabinet of Ministers, within a month from the date of entry into force of the law, undertakes to submit to the Rada a bill on the consequences of a court decision to ban a political party for the status of deputies of local councils.

Recall, on May 3, the Verkhovna Rada adopted in the second reading bill 7172-1, which provides for a ban on political parties whose programmatic goals are aimed at justifying, recognizing the lawful or denying the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, as well as justifying the actions of pro-Russian militants in the temporarily occupied territories.

On May 12, the Verkhovna Rada officially liquidated the Opposition Platform - For Life faction, co-chaired by Viktor Medvedchuk and Yuriy Boyko.
