Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko expects that Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada would soon annul parliamentary immunity from prosecution.

"My draft amendments to the Constitution are ready. It requires political will from parliamentarians to equal them in rights with Ukrainian citizens once and for all. It is the same as we lifted immunity from prosecution from judges," Poroshenko said on the occasion of the Constitution Day in Ukraine in Kyiv on Wednesday.

The president expressed hope that lawmakers would soon make this decision.

"I hope that people's deputies in the near future would make the relevant decision. Maybe there is no one among them who had not promised to annul immunity from prosecution in their electoral programs," he said.
