The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine did not include in the agenda any of the bills submitted by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed amendments to the current electoral legislation, in particular the abolition of the majority system and the 3% vote threshold. Russian-backed militants took eight Ukrainian military servicemen prisoner without a fight on the morning of May 22 in the war zone of Donbas, according to the Ukrainian military.
