“What do you think, if Russia, as Western friends of Ukraine claim, is preparing to force Muraev into the presidency, having previously occupied Ukraine, then why is the State Duma inviting a delegation of the Rada?”

— he wrote in his Telegram channel.

According to Kuzmin, if the Ukrainian authorities do not want a war with Russia, they should immediately send a deputy group of the Rada to the State Duma.

He also expressed bewilderment at Kiev's ignoring the statement by Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin about the need for dialogue between the parliamentarians of both countries.

“Doesn’t want to negotiate peace?

Do you want war?

asked Kuzmin.

Earlier it was reported that groups were formed in the State Duma for interaction with the parliaments of other countries, including those from Great Britain, the USA and Ukraine.

Deputy Evgeny Popov became the curator of the group for relations with Ukraine.

In this regard, the Ukrainian party "Opposition Platform - For Life" (OPPL) declared the importance of dialogue between the parliaments of Ukraine and Russia.
