Speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko said that Russia no longer expects honesty and decency from Ukraine and the West. “We no longer expect honesty, decency from the other side.
Protection of Russian people, the Russian world, Russian historical territories is the only thing that guides us,” she said. She said that today we are talking about much more than the confrontation between Russia and Ukraine, but about “a large-scale confrontation with the collective West, led by the United States”
