The new union of MPs from different parliamentary factions will defend peaceful coexistence of different confessions in Ukraine.

On Tuesday, February 16, the Verkhovna Rada announced the creation of a new inter-factional association of deputies "For Confessional Peace in Ukraine", Ukrinform reports.

Members of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Vadim Novinsky (non-factional) and Alexander Kachura (Servant of the People faction) were elected heads of the association.
