European Solidarity Expels MP Honcharenko Over War-Ending Proposals
Ukraine’s opposition European Solidarity party expelled lawmaker Oleksiy Honcharenko from its parliamentary faction on Monday, Oct. 5 over his proposals for ending the war. The party said Ukraine’s Defense Forces, language, EU and NATO membership cannot be bargained away in possible negotiations with Russia.
The European Solidarity party in Ukraine has expelled lawmaker Oleksiy Honcharenko from its parliamentary faction due to ideological differences over his proposals for ending the war with Russia. Honcharenko's vision for peace, which he outlined on social media and in a column for Ukrainska Pravda, suggested that Ukraine should seek agreements with Russia on specific issues rather than a single comprehensive peace deal.
His plan also proposed phased sanctions relief and the discussion of Ukraine's neutrality, both of which are at odds with Ukraine's constitution and its commitment to EU and NATO membership.
