The Ukrainian Parliament, called the Verkhovna Rada, is Ukraine’s national legislature responsible for creating laws, approving budgets, and overseeing the government. Composed of 450 members elected by citizens every five years, it plays a key role in shaping the country's policies and ensuring government accountability. The Rada debates and votes on proposed laws, and its decisions influence Ukraine’s political, economic, and social directions. It functions as a vital democratic institution, representing the people's interests and maintaining checks and balances within the government system.
