Natalya Nikonorova. File photoSIMFEROPOL, Jan 22 Natalya Nikonorova, head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, said that the United States, by encouraging the policy of the Ukrainian authorities, is thus sponsoring terrorism and national ultra-radicalism. The law of Ukraine on the foundations of national resistance comes into force in 2022. Since the United States openly supports the state in which such laws are adopted, maybe the American congressmen at the same time also recognize themselves as sponsors of terrorism and national ultra-radicalism, which is strongly encouraged by the Ukrainian authorities?» — said Nikonorova to RIA Novosti.The first batch of new military aid from the United States was delivered to Ukraine. According to her, this law legitimizes and arms volunteer armed groups. «That is, in fact, bandits and terrorists who, hiding behind some kind of» fight against the aggressor, «receive legal and practical support for further committing terrorist attacks and other crimes in the Donbass, and at the same time they are guaranteed impunity,» the head of the Foreign Ministry emphasized. Nikonorova called on the US authorities to familiarize themselves with real, and not fictitious or slipped by Ukrainian officials reports on the situation in Donbass. «Perhaps, in this case, in congress, there will be an understanding of the scale and enormity of those egregious crimes against humanity that the Ukrainian armed forces and, in general, the leaders of this state have carried out against the inhabitants of Donbass over the past 8 years. Of course, we have no particular illusions about the chances of such a realization. But if such an understanding -do appear, then y kong The US press will clearly change its position on who the terrorists are, who sent tanks and planes against people who just wanted to be heard,» Nikonorova said. The law on the foundations of national resistance came into force in Ukraine on January 1, 2022. According to the document, national resistance implies the widest possible involvement of Ukrainian citizens in ensuring the country's military security.
