There is a good chance that the Verkhovna Rada will soon consider recognizing the Palestinian group Hamas as a terrorist organization.

This was stated on the air of Radio Liberty by the People's Deputy of Ukraine from the "Servant of the People", the president's representative in the Verkhovna Rada Fedir Venislavskyi, Censor.NET reports.

"I believe that against the backdrop of the horrors we have seen over the past few days, where Hamas has indeed demonstrated its brutality and terrorist orientation against civilians when it took civilians out of cars and took absolutely innocent people hostage, used it as a bargaining tool - this is the essence of terror. Therefore, the terrorist orientation of this war is definitely obvious to me, as a lawyer," Venislavskyi said.

According to him, this issue is the competence of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. Therefore, during the upcoming plenary sessions, he expects recommendations from his colleagues on "how to act most efficiently and rationally in this situation."

Answering the question of why people's deputies did not put an end to this issue earlier, he explained it with a number of factors. 

"There are a lot of components and we must understand that we are fighting with a tough enemy, which also has many different points of contact and influence on different regions of the world. And that is why it is important for us that we do not acquire additional difficulties and enemies against the background of the struggle with the Russian Federation for our independence," Venislavskyi explained.
