Ukrainian MP expelled from Poroshenko's party for advocating peace talks with Russia

Oleksiy Honcharenko, a Ukrainian MP, was expelled from former President Petro Poroshenko's party after publicly calling for new peace negotiations with Moscow and the lifting of Western sanctions on Russian energy. This marks a rare public deviation from the dominant hardline stance in Ukrainian politics, though it remains an isolated incident with no immediate policy impact. The episode signals internal political friction over war fatigue and potential negotiation paths, but the government's position remains unchanged.
