Speaker: Parliament still has no consolidated decision on visas with Russia

The parliament’s speaker said this in an interview with Rada TV Channel. “Factions are continuing discussions. Yesterday there was hope that we would manage to reach a decision [on visas], but discussions are still taking place,” Parubiy said. He also stressed that he will personally keep on recommending Ukrainian MPs to support the introduction of a visa-regime with Russia. Meanwhile, on Thursday an MP with the faction of the presidential party, the Petro Poroshenko bloc, said they oppose introducing visas for Russians visiting Ukraine.
