Today, #450UA on KONTAKT UKRAINIAN TELEVISION
featured a discussion with Toronto lawyer Ihor Bardyn
about embattled Ukrainian opposition MP Serhiy Vlasenko.
Without reasonable cause, Serhiy was stripped of his status as People's Deputy of Ukraine by a Higher Administrative Court and has been prevented from performing his duties in the Verkhovna Rada parliament as an elected official. Ihor offers his insight and analysis, with an interesting comparison to former MP Stepan Khmara's plight a couple of decades ago.
