The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted as a whole the Draft Resolution on Approval of Proposals for the Application of Personal Special Economic and Other Restrictive Measures (Sanctions) (Reg. No.15533).
The adopted Resolution is designed to establish the prerequisites for the adoption by the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine of a decision on the application of personal special economic and other restrictive measures (sanctions) against all deputies, without exception, of the regional parliaments of the russian federation (legislative assemblies of the constituent entities of the russian federation) — specifically of republics, territories, regions, autonomous okrugs and autonomous oblasts, and cities of federal significance — as listed in the Annex to this Resolution.
The regional parliaments of the russian federation are a key institution providing legal and financial support for the russia’s aggression against Ukraine at the local level. Through unanimous voting by their respective deputies, the legislative assemblies of the constituent entities of the russian federation continuously adopt decisions that create real and/or potential threats to the national interests, national security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Ukraine; facilitate the terrorist activities of the russian occupiers and/or violate human and civil rights and freedoms, as well as the interests of society and the state; lead to the occupation of Ukrainian territory, the deportation of Ukrainian children from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine to the territory of the russian federation, and the expropriation or restriction of property rights of Ukrainian citizens, causing them pecuniary losses; and create obstacles to sustainable economic development and the full exercise by Ukrainian citizens of their inherent rights and freedoms.
