Additional information:

The lawyer of the People's Deputy from the Servant of the People party, Alexander Kachura, demanded that the Internet media remove the news about the cooperation between the Servant of the People and the Opposition Platform – For Life after the local elections. The lawyer asked the newspaper to remove the news, as it «does not reflect the actual situation» and humiliates the honour, dignity and business reputation of the deputy. The deputy himself wrote on his Facebook page that the wording in the article was «taken out of context».
