KYIV: Ukraine’s ruling party has kicked out a lawmaker from its parliamentary faction after reports that he had travelled to Thailand during the grinding war with Russia sparked a public outcry.
Party spokesperson Yulia Paliychuk said on Friday that Mykola Tyshchenko was expelled from the voting bloc of the Servant of the People party after an announcement appeared briefly on the website of the Ukrainian embassy in Thailand saying Tyshchenko would meet members of the Ukrainian diaspora at a hotel in Bangkok.
