Can you cite your source for that information? I can't seem to find anything which matches it.
Based on below it appears they had a ~56% majority in the last election. Has there been a change in the composition since then?
"In the 21 July 2019 parliamentary election, Zelenskyy's political party, Servant of the People, won the first single-party majority in modern Ukrainian history in parliament, with 43 per cent of the party-list vote.

"All 450 seats in the Verkhovna Rada 226 seats needed for a majority" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Ukrainian_parliamentary_e...
Though I'll note that a lot of the states we consider to be "One Party" actually do allow controlled opposition parties, they just never let them gain actual power. With Ukraine banning its second largest party, Zelensky's party goes from about 40% to about 60%, and wouldn't need to form a coalition government.
