As Zelensky's party falters, Ukrainian parliament drifts to standstill

In recent months, Ukraine’s parliament is drifting to a standstill, as the government struggles to gather necessary votes during sessions. The reason is not political disagreement over pending legislation, but a general sense of frustration among parliament’s members, according to experts and lawmakers who spoke to the Kyiv Independent. The two most commonly cited reasons are the travel restrictions, and a general breakdown in the relationship between parliament and other branches of the government.
