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)
posted on his Telegram channel.
He added that the meeting of the Council of the State Duma would be held at 10:00 am, and the plenary session would start at 12:00 pm.
The Chairman of the State Duma recalled that a week ago the State Duma appealed to the President of Russia to recognize DPR and LPR as sovereign and independent states.
“There is a real humanitarian catastrophe, we see how tens of thousands of refugees, women, children are forced to leave their homes, thus, that is the only solution to make such decision in the current situation,” stressed Vyacheslav Volodin.
“Our country had insisted for a long time that Ukraine should implement the Minsk agreements.
But Kiev has undermined them by starting shelling of civilians in Donbas,” he stressed.
The Chairman of the State Duma added that “the US authorities are interested in making this conflict prolonged, and want the European countries to not be able to influence the situation”.
Recognition of independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics and ratification of treaties on friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance should stop the carnage and any further loss of lives of our citizens and compatriots living there,” emphasized Vyacheslav Volodin.
“As for unfriendly decisions and sanctions, they will be imposed in any case. Just as it had already happened earlier without any reasons and pretexts. The United States and its satellite allies do not need strong Russia, and they will do everything to halt the development of our country,” concluded the Chairman of the State Duma.
