This was stated in a speech at an extraordinary meeting of the Verkhovna Rada, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin, reports Ukrinform.

“After the Verkhovna Rada’s decision to impose martial law and immediately after its publication in the media, we will notify the UN Secretary-General of the right of Ukraine to self-defense in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter. Although, of course, we will try to resolve the situation according to Article 33 in a peaceful way, but we see that this is impossible with Russia, "said Klimkin..
