The Kremlin has said requests from top MPs from Russia’s governing party to ship military equipment to the Donbass show how seriously the country is taking the crisis across the border in Ukraine. The group of influential politicians have argued it is a necessary response to recent deliveries of weapons dispatched to Kiev by Western nations.
Vladimir Vasilyev, the parliamentary leader of the United Russia party, made the request in a statement on Wednesday. “We understand that they are pumping up Ukraine with missile systems, grenade launchers, and other supplies,” he said. “There are also instructors there to train them how to use this equipment. This is a great danger. It is preparation for military action, and nothing else. Military action against the peaceful population that lives there.”
“We have waited a long time for a reasonable decision to prevail in Washington, but this is not happening,” he went on. “We only hear about sanctions, and about weapons being sent into the conflict zone.” The MP compared the situation in Ukraine to Nazism and said that it was reminiscent of Stepan Bandera, the far-right Ukrainian nationalist leader whose organization massacred thousands of Poles and Jews in the 1940s. “We cannot accept this,” he insisted.
