The resignation of Prosecutor General of Ukraine Viktor Shokin will be put to a vote during the Verkhovna Rada sitting on March 29, Rada Chairman Volodymyr Groysman has said.

"I'm making an announcement to evade any misunderstandings: On [March] 29 during a plenary sitting we'll discuss consent for resignation of the prosecutor general of Ukraine," Groysman said when closing an evening sitting of the parliament on Thursday.

Groysman informed the MPs during a morning plenary sitting on Thursday that he has already sent a letter to Shokin asking for coming to the parliament for discussing his resignation, however, the speaker said he had received no reply from the PGO and personally Shokin about his readiness to consider this issue.
