On October 18, the Ukrainian parliament recognized the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria as occupied by Russia and condemned the genocide of the Chechen people. 287 MPs supported the resolution.

The Rada's resolution mentioned the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria's declaration of independence that followed the fall of the Soviet Union and the adoption of a constitution by its parliament on March 12, 1992. It established the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria as a sovereign, independent, democratic, and legal state.

According to the resolution, military aggression was perpetrated against the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, which is now temporarily occupied by the Russian Federation. Additionally, the document urged UN member states and international organizations to gauge that the guilty are brought to justice by ensuring an impartial and independent inquiry into atrocities perpetrated in Chechnya.

The Chechen Republic of Ichkeria is an unrecognized separatist state entity (1991-2000), created after the collapse of the USSR on the part of the territory of the former Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic and dismantled by federal troops during the second Chechen war. The authorities of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria should not be confused with the organization "Congress of the Peoples of Ichkeria and Dagestan," banned and recognized as a terrorist group by a Russian court.
