Ukraine’s parliament cancelled its session scheduled for Friday (Nov 22), citing concerns about the risk of a Russian missile attack targeting Kyiv’s government district.
“The hour of questions to the government has been cancelled,” a member of parliament from the ruling party told news agency AFP. Yevgenia Kravchuk, another MP, said, “There are signals of an increased risk of attacks on the government district in the coming days.”
Despite the cancelled session, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s office continued to operate. Three lawmakers told the Associated Press that the decision was made due to the ongoing threat that Russian missile strikes pose.
