“Considering the use of cultural cooperation by the Russian Federation to carry out expansion, foment separatism, destabilize the political situation in Ukraine, carry out anti-Ukrainian propaganda, and support aggression against Ukraine, the activities of information and cultural centers of the Russian Federation in Ukraine are a threat to national security of the state because of their use by the Russian secret services to continue the aggression, undermine the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine," the MP wrote.

In her opinion, the seizure of the museum property in the territory of the Crimea and their partial transfer to the Russian Federation in the Nazi-occupation-style of 1941-1945 makes it impossible to continue cooperation between Ukraine and the Russian Federation in the sphere of culture, demanding the immediate cessation of intergovernmental agreements in this area.
