According to Covitidi, everything that has been happening in Ukraine lately can be called the "theater of the absurd."

“Today it (Ukraine. — RT ) is an instrument in a big geopolitical game ... That is why it performs a certain kind of function, fulfills its role. Such statements do not surprise anyone. This is just one of the links in the chain of anti-Russian statements that exist, ”the senator explained.

She emphasized that Russia is not going to attack anyone.

“Ukraine does not need to invent anything. They want to divert the attention of Ukrainians today from the problems that they have ... Ukraine must deal with the issues of its state and, above all, the interests of its people, ”the parliamentarian concluded.

Earlier, Tarasov, answering the question about the possibility of "capture" of the Russian paratroopers of Odessa, said that Ukraine had enough strength to prevent the landing of Russian troops in the event of a naval conflict.

He noted that Kiev needs to restore the surveillance system, build up deterrence forces and protect ports.
