“The foreign policy of the Russian Federation is formulated by the president under the Constitution and implemented as a tool by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” Peskov told reporters.

According to him, all branches of government express concern and consider unacceptable demarches, similar to the attempts of the Ukrainian delegation to prevent the speech of the deputy from the Crimea Ruslan Balbek at the forum on minority issues at the UN.

“But, as for other appraisal statements, I would recommend applying to the State Duma,” he said.

Volodin said earlier that nationalism and the oppression of small nations in Ukraine could lead to a number of areas leaving its composition.

He called on Kiev to begin work by eliminating errors, including revising attitudes towards the rights of ethnic groups.
