43 members of the Verkhovna Rada have suggested that the parliament declare Russia's encroachment on the statehood of Ukraine in order to destroy its sovereignty.
This is stated in draft resolution No. 8335, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
According to the document, the Rada recognizes the decisions and actions of the political and military leadership of the Russian Federation, its armed forces, other military formations that encroach on the statehood of Ukraine, are committed in order to destroy the Ukrainian people, forcible deprivation by one state of international legal subjectivity, sovereignty and national statehood of another state.

Among the authors of the bill are the representative of the President in the Rada Fedir Venislavskyi, Chairman of the Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence Oleksandr Zavitnevych, Deputy Chairman of the Servant of the People faction Yevheniia Kravchuk, MPs from the Holos faction Yaroslav Yurchyshyn, from European Solidarity - Volodymyr Viatrovych, from Batkivshchyna - Vadym Ivchenko, from the For the Future group - Iryna Konstankevych.
