Zelensky slams political infighting, calls for unity amid parliamentary crisis

President Volodymyr Zelensky on April 2 lashed out at parliamentary infighting, saying that some lawmakers are trying to disrupt the "unity" necessary for Ukraine's survival.

Zelensky's comments come amid what some call a parliamentary crisis, with his own Servant of the People party failing to collect enough votes for government initiatives. In recent weeks the Ukrainian parliament failed to pass several bills necessary for securing funding from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, as well as for Ukraine's EU accession.
