Rada calls on UN, foreign states to develop mechanisms to guarantee Ukraine's security
The Verkhovna Rada called on the United Nations, parliaments and governments of foreign states, and international organizations to develop specific mechanisms to guarantee Ukraine's security.
A total of 287 MPs voted for corresponding resolution No. 12277 on the Verkhovna Rada's appeal to parliaments and governments of foreign states, the UN, the European Union, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and its parliamentary assembly on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the signing of the Memorandum on Security Assurances in Connection with Ukraine's Accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (Budapest Memorandum) at a plenary session of parliament on Thursday, Holos faction member Yaroslav Zhelezniak reported on Telegram.
In the appeal, the MPs also ask to consider the issue of the legal grounds for the Russian Federation to be a member of the UN.
The Verkhovna Rada also proposed "initiating a global dialogue aimed at developing a new system of universal, unconditional security guarantees based on existing mechanisms and at the same time increasing the responsibility of states possessing nuclear weapons, which would reduce the likelihood of states seeking to obtain nuclear weapons and would contribute to strengthening trust and strengthening the global regime of non-proliferation of nuclear weapons."
