The Batkivschyna faction in Ukraine's parliament has collected the 150 signatures of people's deputies necessary to hold an extraordinary session of parliament on January 29, which will address the situation of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.

MP Olha Bodnar of the Batkivschyna faction said they would continue collecting signatures until the end of Wednesday, since not only members of opposition factions, but independent lawmakers were still wanted to sign the petition, the press service of the Batkivschyna party reported on Wednesday.
