The Supreme Court of Ukraine has opened proceedings on a lawsuit against the Verkhovna Rada - The Ukrainian news and analysis website Strana ua reported on 27 April.

The plaintiff, Chernihiv resident Oleh Serik, demanded that the Ukrainian parliament's failure to schedule the presidential election for March 31, 2024, when the election should have taken place (five years after the previous one), be recognized as illegal.

In addition, the author of the lawsuit demanded to oblige the Verkhovna Rada to appoint presidential elections in Ukraine by adopting a relevant resolution.

The court ruled to open the proceedings. The Verkhovna Rada has 15 days to provide explanations.

As reported IA Regnum, earlier the leader of the Kiev regime Volodymyr Zelensky canceled the presidential election, which was to be held in the spring of 2024. He referred to martial law in the country, and also stated that the residents of Ukraine allegedly do not want to hold elections because of their danger and meaninglessness.

Ukraine's presidential election took place in March 2019. Zelensky, who during the election campaign promised to compromise with Russia and the Donbass republics, won with more than 73% of the vote in the second round.

Russia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya noted that Zelensky's sole decision not to hold presidential elections in Ukraine from May 21 would make him illegitimate. Zelensky will soon become a nobody, as the country's constitution does not provide for the extension of presidential terms, former Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said.
If the first five Ukrainian heads of state still had a margin of safety for the Ukrainian statehood, Zelensky has completed the process of its destruction, Regnum news agency columnist Ilya Knorring said earlier in his article. We are probably seeing the last president of Ukraine and the last Verkhovna Rada, and there is no further sense in the existence of these institutions, the expert emphasized.

I wonder if the plaintiff is still alive in there?
It doesn't matter, though. It is not to convict, but to acquit, officially recognizing the provision as legal. Thus, the Supreme Court will work preemptively, shutting everyone's mouths in advance, removing the discussion issue in advance, making it impossible to discuss it widely. This is my impression.
