    Okay for people as confused as I was an hour ago.

    She doesn’t caucus with either major party and is officially an independent. But she’s politically liberal. The pro Russia group is currently in control of the parliament and the pro EU group including her is calling bullshit on the elections.

    She said it was unprecedented, adding: “We were witnesses and victims of a Russian special operation, a new type of hybrid warfare waged against our people.>
