**1. Substance of the Act**
This Resolution of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine is an official procedural decision of the parliament regarding the referral of a People’s Deputy’s inquiry to the President of Ukraine.

Kovaliov, concerns a critically important issue — the priority return from captivity of the severely wounded defenders of Mariupol who suffered during the terrorist act in Olenivka. The document confirms the consolidated support for this initiative by 276 elected representatives of the people. It serves as an instrument of parliamentary oversight and direct appeal to the Head of State in the area of protecting the rights of military personnel.
**2. Structure of the Act and Comparative Analysis**
The structure of this Resolution is concise and standard for procedural decisions of the Verkhovna Rada. It consists of a preamble containing references to the legal basis (Paragraph 34 of Article 85 of the Constitution of Ukraine and Article 15 of the Law of Ukraine “On the Status of the People’s Deputy of Ukraine”) and a single operative clause on the referral of the inquiry. Since this document is an individual act of one-time application, it does not amend current legislation or previous versions of other regulatory acts, and does not contain a comparative table.
**3. Key Provisions for Practical Application**
