Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament, Volodymyr Groysman has called on lawmakers to find a way out of the political crisis and ensure productive work.
"We cannot allow the political crisis to drag on. I call on all political forces to find solutions to problems we face today," he said during a meeting of the parliamentary faction leaders on March 14.
He also called on lawmakers to demonstrate their ability to take decisions issues which are of paramount importance to Ukraine.
"We must reach many decisions this week. I think we'll be able to agree some 40 pieces of legislation we are scheduled to consider this week," he said.
The draft laws include bills on defense spending, government finance and filing income declarations online. Groysman said adoption of the measures will facilitate visa-free for Ukrainians to the European Union.
