The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine called for the exclusion of Russia from the UN Security Council. This is stated in a collective statement, agreed with the leaders of all pro-Ukrainian parliamentary factions, published by Eurosolidarity MP Irina Gerashchenko.

They elected her and supported the policy of terror against sovereign Ukraine,” the statement says..
