Ukrainian Parliament in Wartime: Key Tendencies and Challenges

The Ukrainian Parliamentary Institute, in cooperation with the Institute for the Danube Region and Central Europe, invites you to an online presentation and discussion of the research study: “Ukrainian Parliament in Wartime – Key Tendencies and Challenges” The study examines how the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has operated under martial law during Russia’s full-scale invasion and explores the key institutional transformations, challenges, and achievements of Ukraine’s parliament during wartime. The research was conducted with the support of the Danube Rectors’ Conference. What the research highlights: Institutional resilience under wartime conditions – Despite severe security constraints, the Verkhovna Rada maintained legislative continuity and advanced major reforms. Transparency under pressure – While parliamentary openness initially declined due to security measures, gradual improvements have been introduced, including the partial restoration of parliamentary access for journalists and renewed communication practices. EU integration progress – Wartime governance has not slowed Ukraine’s European integration. Legislative planning, compliance review mechanisms, and institutional capacity within Parliament have significantly expanded. Oversight and accountability challenges – Wartime centralisation temporarily weakened oversight mechanisms, though recent developments indicate gradual recovery and strengthening of parliamentary scrutiny. Overall, the study demonstrates how Ukraine’s Parliament has balanced security demands with democratic governance while continuing its path toward European standards. The event will provide key insights from the research findings and offer a platform for expert discussion on the future development of parliamentary governance in Ukraine during and after the war.
