In the electoral support rating, the gap between “Opposition Platform - For Life” and “Servant of the People” has reduced to 1 per cent and is less than the statistical error, according to the results of a poll among Ukrainians, conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS).

It’s been 20 months since the acting Cabinet of Ministers had been created, with its key task being the revival of the manufacturing industry.

German lawmakers of three levels – the European Parliament, the Bundestag and the Landtag of Bavaria – met with the chairman of the political council of the “OPPOSITION PLATFORM - FOR LIFE” party Viktor Medvedchuk at his place. Politicians discussed a variety of issues: the political persecution of the Ukrainian opposition, the energy crisis in Ukraine and, of course, the establishment of peace in Donbas.

Ukraine’s industrial production showed a decline in September for the first time since March 2021, by 0.9 percent on a year-on-year basis. This was stated by OPPOSITION PLATFORM – FOR LIFE MP Serhiy Lovochkin commenting on data by the State Statistics Service.

“On October 25, the world celebrates International Women’s Struggle for Peace Day.

Instead of solving global problems in the country, the government is doing what is convenient to itself: an illusory return of Crimea, incitement to ethnic hatred, political persecution of the chairman of the political council of the OPPOSITION PLATFORM - FOR LIFE party Viktor Medvedchuk. “But all this will not help provide heat and electricity to houses of Ukrainians,” MP Oleg Voloshyn said on the sidelines of the Verkhovna Rada session.

Viktor Medvedchuk commented on another protest rally by radical nationalists ordered by Zelensky’s authorities, which took place on October 24 at his house, as well as a number of other pressing issues of the country’s life and international relations. At the same time, a large rally of Medvedchuk’s supporters was held at the politician’s house in support for him.

Yuliya Lovochkina, a member of the Ukrainian PACE delegation and OPPOSITION PLATFORM - FOR LIFE MP, stated commenting on the judgment that she believes the violation of voting rights of residents from 18 amalgamated territorial communities in Donbas would be taken into consideration by the ECtHR, and justice would definitely be restored.

The demographic crisis in Ukraine is getting worse, which serves as evidence of costly mistakes of the government in its economic and social policy. This was stated by MP Serhiy Lovochkin commenting on recent data from the State Statistics Service.
