About 20 Ukrainian people's deputies are currently abroad.

This was announced by the First Deputy Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Oleksandr Kornienko on the general air of TV channels.

“There are different figures, I won’t specify now… About 20 people’s deputies are not in Ukraine. Let's put it this way… these are deputies who had their own unpatriotic manifestations, voting and so on,"

At the same time, Kornienko added that 9 people's deputies are on a business trip to the Council of Europe.

According to the first vice-speaker, as soon as the law on collaborators comes into force (this should happen in the near future), the Security Service of Ukraine will be able to take care of the traitor people's deputies as well.
