The Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation of the eighth convocation. Elected in single mandate constituency № 163 (Saratov constituency - Saratov Oblast)
recalled that there had been a coup d'état in Ukraine eight years ago.
“The United States has actually occupied Ukraine. The US advisers were appointed to all governmental structures. But the worst and most dangerous thing is that Ukraine receives more and more weapons,” emphasized the Chairman of the State Duma.
He noted the fact that all these years Kiev had ignored the Minsk agreements, “pursued genocidal policy towards people living in Donbas, while their only fault was their desire to speak their native language and that their rights and freedoms be fulfilled and guaranteed.”
“Instead of having dialogue, the Ukrainian authorities attacked citizens of their country using heavy weapons,” Vyacheslav Volodin said.
“The decision of our President Vladimir V. Putin to start a peacekeeping operation is aimed at preventing a humanitarian catastrophe and a full-scale war,” said the Chairman of the State Duma.
He also stressed that the citizens of Ukraine should not be afraid of the peacekeeping operation, because “its only purpose is demilitarization”.
“Ukraine should become a free, independent, democratic and peaceful state. Being free from the anti-people regime with a nationalist ideology, it will begin to develop in the interests of their citizens,” the Chairman of the State Duma said.
