In the election, the parties that were more pro-Russian and Euroskeptic,[6][7] including Opposition Platform, Volodymyr Saldo Bloc, and Party of Shariy (3.9%) had a combined vote share just over 30%, and won 20 out of 54 seats.
Russian invasion of Ukraine
Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the council has not held meetings.[8] Additionally, 19 of the 54 total representatives in the council have either resigned, or have their position terminated due to wartime collaboration.[9] This includes Volodymyr Saldo, leader of the Volodymyr Saldo Bloc, who later became head of the Russian occupation of Kherson Oblast.[10][11]

- Since the war, the remaining members reorganized under the name "Support to the programs of the President of Ukraine", signalling support for president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.[4]
- 17 of them resigned, while 2 were terminated due to treason
