Verkhovna Rada Chairman Volodymyr Rybak has said that a petition demanding the dismissal of Vice Speaker Ruslan Koshulynsky has been signed by more than 160 lawmakers and a draft resolution on this matter has been registered.

"I have not seen [the draft resolution on the dismissal of Vice Speaker Koshulynsky] yet. We have collected some 165 or 160 signatures, and registered such a resolution," Rybak said at a briefing in Kyiv on Monday.
