Verkhovna Rada Chairman Volodymyr Rybak has closed today's evening sitting of parliament.

According to an Interfax-Ukraine reporter, the parliamentarians managed to pass several instructions on the appointment of judges.

Rybak had to hold the parliamentary sitting from the guest box, as his working place was blocked by the opposition factions.

The opposition MPs tried to prevent Party of Regions faction members from using several voting cards.

Members of the opposition factions tried to reach Rybak, but the Party of Regions faction members held them back.

Rybak has called a meeting of the faction leaders.
