Novinsky leaving Verkhovna Rada: "I’ll focus on serving the UOC"

UOC Protodeacon Vadim Novinsky reports on his Facebook page that he is leaving the Verkhovna Rada. 

The protodeacon noted that he will engage in humanitarian, social and industrial-economic activities.

"I have decided to resign as a people's deputy of Ukraine to focus on humanitarian projects, the development of the national economy, the service to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the restoration of destroyed churches. I will pay special attention to projects of post-war economic revival of Ukraine as an industrial, high-tech and highly educated country," Vadim Novinsky wrote.

As earlier reported, the Vadim Novinsky Foundation donated 50 tonnes of food to war victims.
