People's Deputy Nadiia Savchenko in a conversation with the former hostage swap negotiator, Volodymyr Ruban, proposed to carry out a coup in Ukraine to eliminate the country's leadership. Candid camera footage shot by the SBU within the probe showing the conversation was presented at the Verkhovna Rada session hall ahead of the vote to strip Savchenko of parliamentary immunity and allow her arrest, TSN reports.

"I propose a coup. That's because they have to be removed physically - all at once." This is the way. On one day, only inside [the Rada]. It can also be a couple of days, but a single date can be most successful. We'll have to wait for this day for about a year. Then we have to make them run. So I'm less interested in the government quarter, I'm more interested in their homes. I believe they'll start running when they have nowhere to return. Your further task is to maintain order... We have to make sure that chaos does not ensue," Savchenko said.

"In any case, if we fail to do this project now, by any means possible, then we shouldn't live at all..." the former Kremlin's prisoner-turned MP added.
