It is noted that an extraordinary plenary meeting of the parliament is convened at 4 pm on March 4, 2020.
The Verkhovna Rada’s apparatus was instructed to ensure the preparation and holding of an extraordinary plenary meeting and inform the MPs about the issues that are planned to be considered at it.
As specified in the Office of the President, Zelensky requested to include questions about the Cabinet of Ministers and the consideration of several draft laws on the agenda of the meeting.

As we reported before, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky created an interim working group on healthcare system reform and approved its composition. The corresponding decree No. 55/2020 was signed by the head of state on February 21.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Vadym Prystaiko announced his constant readiness to resign. He made such a statement in an interview with Ukraine 24 TV channel.
"Indeed, am I ready for the resignation? I am ready from the very beginning, while still assuming this position. I was an ambassador to NATO when the president proposed to me to become foreign minister. It's an honor, but I obviously understand for more than 25 years of my careers, how quickly ministers change over time. And there is always readiness," - the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said.
The diplomat does not exclude that they can already select candidates for his post - as a rule, this is done by the head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak. But the final decision is made by Volodymyr Zelensky, Prystaiko emphasized.
He says that he is not satisfied with his work or his colleagues in the government.
