MP Viacheslav Kyrylenko has resigned from the post of deputy leader of the Batkivschyna faction.

"I have just resigned from the post of deputy leader of the faction in connection with the decision of the faction to forbid us to mention the For Ukraine! Party in our speeches," Kyrylenko wrote on Twitter on Thursday morning.

At the same time, all members of the For Ukraine! Party remain active participants of the Batkivschyna faction, though they believe the fraction's decision to be lunacy.

Kyrylenko is the leader of the For Ukraine! Party.
