Rada dissolves "Center", and NU gains 10 more deputies
The deputy group "Center" has been dissolved in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. This was announced at the morning session of the Rada by its Chairman Volodymyr Lytvyn, reports a "proUA" correspondent.
The group was dissolved due to the fact that only five people's deputies of Ukraine remained in it. The other deputies joined the "Our Ukraine" faction. In particular, out of 12 people's deputies, 7 parliamentarians went to NU: Serhiy Bychkov, Oleksiy Kozachenko, Oleksandr Omelchenko, Pavlo Ryabikin, Serhiy Slabenko, Viktor Topolov, Volodymyr Shklyar. In addition, deputies Volodymyr Fialkovsky, Fedir Shpyh and Serhiy Zhyzhko joined the NU faction.
