The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine will continue its extraordinary session at 1100 on Wednesday, January 29.

After a break, Verkhovna Rada Chairman Volodymyr Rybak told MPs that the consultation on the bill on amnesty were moving slowly and suggested the extraordinary session should continue on Wednesday.

"The talks continue. They are not easy given the problematical amnesty issue. Mutual understanding has been reached between the opposition and the majority, but there are issues which require complete agreement," Rybak said.

He suggested the parliament's work should resume at 1100 on January 29.

A total of 368 out of the 401 MPs backed his proposal.
