The Ukrainian parliament’s rules committee has unanimously approved the cancellation of immunity, detainment, and arrest of lawmaker and former Russian captive Nadiya Savchenko, who is accused of plotting a “terrorist” attack on the legislature.
The committee’s March 22 approval of Prosecutor-General Yuriy Lutsenko’s request is the first step towards Savchenko’s possible arrest, as the full Verkhovna Rada must now either approve or reject the move.
