Verkhovna Rada Chairman Volodymyr Rybak has said that he will not hold parliamentary sittings outside the Verkhovna Rada building.

"I held such a sitting [outside the parliament building] just once and I said at that time that this practice would not become regular. I am not going to go anywhere in order to hold a sitting outside this building," he said at a press briefing in Kyiv on Wednesday.

As reported, on April 4, 2013 members of the majority factions held a sitting at the assembly hall of a parliamentary committee, as the oppositionists were blocking the parliamentary sitting hall at Hrushevskoho Street.
