Verkhovna Rada Chairman Oleksandr Turchynov closed a plenary meeting on Wednesday early, as the MPs had discussed all of the issues on the agenda.

"Tomorrow we will have a very important meeting. The Cabinet of Ministers should report on the first package of anti-crisis measures, which must be approved by parliament, including budgetary amendments. So I am asking for the full mobilization of all factions, deputy groups and all independent MPs. Tomorrow the parliament will resume work at 1000," he said, while closing the plenary meeting.
