Верховна Рада: парламент воюючої країни чи зайва ланка в системі влади?
The Verkhovna Rada: the parliament of a warring country or an unnecessary link in the system of government?

Summary/Abstract: Citizen trust in the Ukrainian parliament has fluctuated significantly over the past 34 years, often hindered by corruption scandals and political conflicts. Despite a brief surge in trust during the early months of the Russian invasion, recent surveys indicate a return to low confidence levels. The parliament’s unity in 2022, reminiscent of the Orange Revolution and the Revolution of Dignity, was short-lived as old issues resurfaced, including the influence of banned pro-Russian parties and legislative inefficiencies. The lack of transparency and chaotic legislative priorities have further eroded public trust. To address these challenges, it is crucial to establish clear legislative priorities, enhance cooperation between the government and parliament, and reduce reliance on votes from pro-Russian factions. Restoring the parliament’s independence and effectiveness is essential for Ukraine’s stability and defense.
