During his address to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy congratulated the people’s deputies on taking office and urged them to work efficiently.
“Let’s work. I urge you to do that. People are waiting. Less SMS, more laws. We are all waiting… It's so unusual to see this hall packed. I would like it to be this way always. Work,” the Head of State noted.
The President emphasized that the Verkhovna Rada of the IX convocation would go down in history, and the activity of the people’s deputies would define the memories of this parliament.
“It is already clear that the Parliament of this convocation will go down in history. The question is - how exactly? You have every chance of getting into the textbooks as the Parliament that has done the incredible, that has implemented everything that hadn’t been done in the previous 28 years,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted.
The President added that the current Parliament should be remembered as the one where there were no fights, absenteeism, piano voting. Just constructive and daily hard work for the benefit of the Ukrainian people.
“Otherwise, God forbid, you will go down in history as the Parliament, which lasted the least. One year. In fact, this is your probation period. Believe me, I already know that dissolving the Verkhovna Rada is not so scary. However, I sincerely hope this will not happen. Let's do it together,” the President concluded.
