Ukraine’s Parliament is in a state of disarray.
Under martial law, with the country at war, no elections are possible to replace members who switched jobs, joined the army, fled the country or quit.
The Parliament regularly gathers with more than 10 percent of its lawmakers absent.
President Volodymyr Zelensky’s party, once a political juggernaut, has in effect lost its majority by unraveling into factions.
The overall picture, said Volodymyr Fesenko, a Ukrainian political analyst, is of a Parliament sidelined during the war and slipping from its once powerful role in Ukrainian democracy.
