Volodin's statement was published on the State Duma website.

He noted that the EP's decision is unfriendly.

“We perceive this as an attempt to interfere in our internal affairs and put pressure on citizens who must make their choice,” said the speaker of the State Duma.

Earlier it became known that the European Parliament approved the report of the Lithuanian deputy Andrius Kubilius with an appeal to the EU authorities to reconsider relations with Russia.

Member of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Anton Morozov, in an interview with RT, commented on this report.
