The head of the Verkhovna Rada Office, Vyacheslav Shtuchny, told Public and Ukrinform about this during the round table “On journalists’ access to the sidelines of the Verkhovna Rada and the resumption of online broadcasts of parliamentary meetings.”
According to him, the Rada will return to the practice that was in place during the COVID-19 pandemic. During the Rada meeting, 20-30 media representatives will be able to be in the building.
Journalists have already submitted applications for accreditation. We are ready for additional accreditation. After Easter, we will gather journalists for instruction during their stay in parliament, Stuchny noted.
Representative of the State Security Administration Valentina Savitskaya noted that it will be necessary to properly verify media representatives who will be admitted to the parliament building.
Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Ruslan Stefanchuk added that it is necessary to form a pool of journalists who “put forward high reputational demands on themselves.”
According to Savitskaya, previously more than 4 thousand journalists were accredited in the Verkhovna Rada.
