The Rada discovered that hundreds of agreements with Russia remain in effect
Before being outraged by the US's joint vote with Russia in the UN, Ukraine should look at itself.
This was stated by former Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine and First Deputy Head of the Parliament's International Committee, Hryhoriy Nemyrya, during a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
"Three years of war have passed, much has been said that this war continues, that Russia is the aggressor. Last week, everyone was outraged that the United States of America voted together with the Russian Federation for the first time in the UN General Assembly.
Let's look at ourselves. More than three years of war, and over 200 bilateral interstate agreements and treaties remain in effect in Ukraine, even more at the departmental and central executive level between Ukraine and the aggressor state, the Russian Federation . I remember when the Minister of Foreign Affairs promised to submit a unified bill that would finally end this disgrace. This bill never materialized," the MP said.
According to him, the Rada Chairman twice approached him with a proposal to fulfill the minister’s promise, but this never happened.
"Therefore, Mr. Chairman, I am addressing you once again. We must still see in the upper chamber a bill or bills on withdrawal, the final termination of bilateral agreements and interstate treaties between Ukraine and the Russian Federation . This also applies to the CIS," Nemyria demanded.
The Rada discovered that hundreds of treaties with Russia remain in effect.
