An Individual deputy from the Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) of Ukraine, Nadezhda Savchenko, stated her decision to give up parliamentary immunity.
Savchenko stated on her facebook page: "On the third anniversary of Independence it is time the politicians keep their promises so a third Maidan does not need to appear: I waive parliamentary immunity urge all people's deputies of Ukraine, President of Ukraine and Ukrainian judges do the same!.". She has also published a photo, in which she asks to remove her parliamentary immunity, explaining it as a fact that elected officials must enjoy equal rights with all other citizens.
The inviolability of deputies and judges is enshrined in the Constitution of Ukraine.
Hope Savchenko, who has previously condemned in Russia for the murder of journalists in the Donbass and pardoned by President Putin, regularly makes statements that give a sharp condemnation of the Ukrainian political establishment. In early February, the deputy president of the country called Poroshenko "enemy of the people", and before that was of the view that the nature of the Kiev authorities is criminal. In December, the Ukrainian politicians have criticized Savchenko, after her visit to Minsk, where she met with the heads of DNR and LNR. The deputy said that she saw no enemies, but rather partners in the negotiations. Then Savchenko was expelled from the "Fatherland" parliamentary party and the PACE delegation due to these words.
