Honcharenko earlier asked Stefanchuk why parliamentary broadcasts have not yet resumed.
“Stefanchuk stated that a resolution to restore Rada broadcasts will be introduced at the start of the new session in September,” Honcharenko said.
MP Yaroslav Yurchyshyn, head of the Freedom of Speech Committee, confirmed that the resolution to reinstate broadcasts is ready and is currently being coordinated with the parliamentary majority.
Since the onset of the war in February 2022, the Verkhovna Rada halted live broadcasts of plenary sessions due to security concerns, and journalists have also been barred from the session hall.
The first live broadcast since the full-scale invasion occurred on July 31, during a vote on restoring the independence of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU).
On July 29, a resolution to resume real-time broadcasts of parliamentary sessions was registered in the legislature.
On July 28, Chesno election watchdog reported that over 50 civil society organizations and media outlets urged the Rada to restore online broadcasts of plenary sessions on the Rada TV channel and to publish agendas in advance.
