Senator Pushkov said the refugee crisis was provoked by the actions of the West

“More new waves of refugees hit Europe with every new war started or provoked by the West,” he wrote on Telegram.

Pushkov recalled that such a situation was observed in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan and Ukraine.

“France has long surrendered under this pressure (refugees -

),” the senator added.

In December, the UN estimated that more than 7.89 million Ukrainian refugees have arrived in Europe since the start of the special military operation.
