Understanding the Role of a Wartime Parliament: At Home with Solomiia Bobrovska and Hryhoriy Nemyria

Parliament is the cornerstone of any functioning democracy. A centre of legislation and debate, its role is clearly defined during times of peace. But what happens when you’re at war?

This week, Marie-Noelle shares two powerful interviews from her recent visit to Ukraine. Hryhoriy Nemyria, First Deputy Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Parliament of Ukraine, talks about the changing nature of a parliament on a wartime footing, while politician, activist, parliamentarian, former acting Governor of Odesa and soldier Solomiia Bobrovska looks to the development of female politicians in the country.
