On the first day of February, the Servant of the People faction expelled from its ranks Oleksandr Dubinsky, who was recently sanctioned by the US. It took at least 180 “servants” to do the job. Volodymyr Zelenskyy had previously offered the MP to resign voluntarily, but Dubinsky stood firm. It seemed that the situation would remain in limbo. But the demonstrative démarche of a group of Kolomoisky-Dubinsky deputies during the vote for the appointment of Yuriy Vitrenko to the government was the last straw. The president’s office made it clear: they want Dubinsky expelled. Our correspondent Oleksiy Bratushchak looked into the potential repercussions of the situation.
