Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Andriy Parubiy proposes debates on the possibility of introducing a visa regime with Russia and expanding sanctions against that country, according to an UNIAN correspondent.
Addressing the coordination board of factions` and committees` chairmen on Monday, he recalled that in early 2016, he tabled a draft resolution in parliament, calling on the Cabinet of Ministers to terminate an agreement between the governments of Ukraine and Russia on visa-free travel.
”Perhaps, today it makes sense to revisit the issue of the introduction of a visa regime with the Russian Federation,” Parubiy said.
He also suggested ”discussing the expansion of sanctions against Russia.”
”It is within the Verkhovna Rada`s authority, and I also think it would make sense that we could talk over the expansion of sanctions against Russia,” he said.
