“The Kuril
Islands are not just two islands. These are two unfreezing straits used by our
ships to go out to the Pacific Ocean. The Sea of Okhotsk, from an economic
perspective, is one of the richest in resources,” said the leader of the CPRF
faction Gennady Zyuganov

According to him, “we don’t want a foreign land, but we will not give up an inch of our own land. We must commit ourselves to that position”.
“The President had sworn on the Constitution to guarantee the territorial integrity and sovereignty of our state. Neither the President, nor the Prime Minister, nor the legislative assembly represented by the State Duma and the Federation Council have any right to give up a single inch of our land. It belongs to all our citizens and must be securely protected,” stressed the head of the faction.
He recalled that three years ago he introduced a bill on the impossibility of deliberations about division of the country and transfer of our territories in the information environment.
