At the same time, the Verkhovna Rada calls on the parliaments and governments of foreign countries that have not yet decided on the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine or demonstrate neutrality, as well as on the states that continue to cooperate with the Russian Federation, not to become accomplices in the war crimes of the aggressor state.
