Parliament in times of war

2023 has ended, marking nearly two years of ongoing full-scale war in Ukraine and the nation’s Parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, operating under martial law. Despite challenging obstacles and occasional tension within the institution, the Rada has been very active. Although the number of plenary sittings decreased by three times compared to 2022, the legislative output has not decreased. In 2023, 251 laws and 406 resolutions were adopted, along with approximately 10 significant personnel decisions.
