Ukraine parliament backs new speaker from president's party

Ukraine's parliament on Friday voted to appoint Ruslan Stefanchuk, a lawmaker from the ruling Servant of the People party, as the new speaker to replace Dmytro Razumkov.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's party on Thursday had voted to remove Razumkov, accusing him of putting his own interests above those of the party.
