Lyashko from the rostrum of the Rada called Lavrov “a minister with a horse’s face”
Since Tuesday morning, debates have flared up in the Verkhovna Rada over whether on May 9 veterans of the Great Patriotic War will be able to wear orders with the symbols of the USSR.
The “Opposition Bloc” criticized the law “on decommunization,” although its representatives did not express any protests at the time of voting.

Deputy Yuriy Boyko came to the Rada podium and demonstrated the Order of the Red Banner of Battle to company commander Dmitry Stadnyuk, a participant in the defense of Kyiv, who was wounded near Poltava.
“This veteran and hundreds of thousands of families are deprived of the opportunity to wear and keep awards,” Boyko said, emphasizing that the “Opposition Bloc” demands Petro Poroshenko to veto the new law.
“Don’t lie or stutter according to instructions from Moscow!” - shouted the brawler Oleg Lyashko, who came next to the podium.
He connected Boyko’s speech with the last words of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who expressed confidence that after the adoption of the law on decommunization, Ukraine “shouldn’t even stutter” about unitary status.
“When horse-faced ministers tell us what we should stutter about, or not stutter – and we remain silent – we humiliate ourselves. I won’t allow this!” - Lyashko promised.
