The Verkhovna Rada has appealed to the U.S. Congress regarding security guarantees for Ukraine.
Some 232 people’s deputies supported the corresponding resolution on the appeal to the Congress at the plenary session of the Ukrainian parliament on March 22, an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent reports.
“In accordance with the spirit and language of the Budapest Memorandum, as well as the development of a strategic partnership between our states, we ask the U.S. to consider the issue of concluding a defense agreement with Ukraine and granting Ukraine a status of a major ally beyond NATO,” the resolution says.
