At a meeting of the Committee on Humanitarian and Information Policy, MPs considered the draft Resolution No. 2739 on the Statement of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on the occasion the seventh anniversary of the beginning of Euromaidan and the Revolution of Dignity.
The document is aimed at drawing the attention of Ukrainian society and the international community to the Euromaidan and the Revolution of Dignity.
Presenting the draft Resolution, MP Oleksandra Ustinova noted that the European Court has already assessed these events, so it is important to adopt the Resolution.
