The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine continued to exercise its constitutional powers even under conditions of the full-scale invasion.

This report presents empirical data on the work of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in the period from February 2022 to June 2023 (some statistical indicators are displayed as of April or May 2023). The authors focused specifically on the legislative function, because it was the main activity of the Parliament during the analyzed time period.

The core task of this study is to present the main facts and quantitative indicators of the work of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. In view of the above, the authors of this Report deliberately avoided making clear and unambiguous conclusions regarding the revealed facts and specifics of the legislative process in the conditions of the full-scale war.
