He announced this in his Telegram channel, noting that, according to the confessions of the head of the Security Council of Ukraine, the Kyiv regime was “preparing for war with Russia.”
“These leaders plotted to start a world war with predictable consequences.
And they deserve punishment for their crimes,” Volodin said.
According to the speaker, this once again confirms how real and serious the threat to the security of not only the residents of Donbass, but the whole of Russia was.
Earlier, Merkel called the Minsk agreements an attempt to give Ukraine time to “become stronger.”
She noted that today's Ukraine militarily is "not what it was in 2014-2015."
Hollande later stated that the Minsk agreements allowed the Ukrainian army to become stronger and "stopped the Russian offensive for a while."
As Vasily Nebenzya, Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, noted, the West initially did not intend to resolve the Ukrainian conflict.
