MOSCOW, Feb 23Oleksiy Chepa, First Deputy Head of the International Committee of the State Duma, said that the United States did everything to prevent the Minsk agreements from being observed, and also pushed Ukraine into conflict. «This is cynicism (the words of US President Joe Biden), because it is clear that the United States is doing everything to push Ukraine to a conflict with the obvious unwillingness of the majority of Ukrainians, with the exception of nationalists and neo-fascists, on whom the State Department relied. The Americans did everything to ensure that the Minsk agreements were not respected. There was pressure not only on Ukraine, but also on all signatories,» Chepa told RIA Novosti. At the same time, Washington was well aware of what threatens people who live on the territory of Lugansk and Donetsk when the armed forces of Kiev and «punitive detachments» enter there. «The only way to save people is the recognition of the republics … If the Minsk agreements were buried, this was the only opportunity save the world,» the deputy continued. In France, they did not agree with Biden in assessing the events in Ukraine. He also recalled the case when US Secretary of State Colin Powell showed everyone a test tube with a sample of weapons before the entry of United States troops into Iraq. Subsequently, it turned out that there were and are no means of mass destruction in Iraq. «Biden today, trying to hide behind this rhetoric, is destroying himself historically. The Americans are doing all this to achieve political goals, as well as to supply raw materials to the European market,» Chepa said. He also welcomed the recognition of the LPR and the DPR and congratulated everyone on Defender of the Fatherland Day. /d0dc543b80078e4ce87b2bca502e0b19.jpg» />12:20The aggravation of the situation in the DPR and LPRThe Rada proposed to impose sanctions against State Duma deputiesPosted by: Vlada Kopylova
