New Ukraine President Zelensky dissolving parliament amid speculation over next move

Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Ukraine's new President, has decided to dissolve parliament as he takes over top post. He also said his first task was to achieve a ceasefire in eastern Ukraine but added that dialogue with Russia could only happen after the return of Ukrainian territory and prisoners of war.

Zelensky has promised to eradicate Ukraine's widespread corruption and end the war with Russia-backed separatists in the east of the country, accusing the outgoing president of doing nothing to improve living standards and reduce poverty.
