Members of the oppositional parliamentary factions have blocked the presidium and the rostrum of the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament, before the beginning of its second session of the seventh convocation.

According to an Interfax-Ukraine reporter, posters reading "Deputy, Go to Work, Vote Individually!" and "No to Button-Pushing!" are hanging in the sitting hall. The MPs also hung a poster reading "The Rada Rots from Rybak" above the presidium. A banner reading "Button-Pushers, Get Out of the Rada!" is hanging on the presidium.

Members of the UDAR faction came to the sitting wearing red pullovers reading "UDAR" and "Vote Individually."
