MPs Bereziuk, Pastukh stop hunger strike

Leader of Samopomich faction in Ukrainian parliament Oleh Bereziuk has said that he and a fellow member of his faction Taras Pastukh are stopping their hunger strike and are going to Lviv, where the Viche (people's assembly) will take place tomorrow.

"Today, Taras [Pastukh] and I are finishing this difficult path, we are starting the path from power to our homes," Bereziuk told reporters in Kyiv on Saturday.

According to him, now they are more needed in Lviv, where the Viche will be held on Sunday.

"I call on Lviv residents not to stay at home, to go out on the streets, go to the viche to express their protest, and we must protect the place that is saving our home country of Ukraine, where we all want to live," Bereziuk said.

Regarding his participation in tomorrow's meeting, the faction leader noted that this will depend on the decision of Lviv doctors, who will examine him.

According to Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovy, the viche will start at 2 pm on Sunday at city's central Market Square.

As reported, earlier this week Bereziuk, Pastukh and Deputy Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Oksana Syroyid declared a hunger strike in protest against the government's inactivity in removing household waste from Lviv. In the morning on Saturday, Syroyid was hospitalized.
