As the senator noted, "Ukraine, torn apart by civil war and internal contradictions", incited by the United States and the collective West, "turned on the mode of self-destruction."
She also recalled the statement of Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, who spoke about Kiev's readiness to abandon the Budapest Memorandum guaranteeing Ukraine's non-nuclear status.
“It’s hard to say how much the former comedian, and now the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky understands what such statements can lead to in the future,” the parliamentarian stressed.
In addition, she noted that against the background of Washington and London's comprehensive support for the escalation of the conflict and the provocations of the Kiev authorities in the Donbass, "it is no longer necessary to wait for reasonable decisions from the Americans and their satellites."
In addition, Kovitidi added that official Washington does not notice “gross violations of the Minsk agreements” carried out by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in relation to civilians in Donbass.
“The use of heavy weapons prohibited by the Minsk agreements, as well as systemic attempts to carry out sabotage and provocation at life support facilities of the DPR and LPR,” she concluded.
As Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, said earlier, American curators are encouraging Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky not to comply with the Minsk agreements.
