"I consider it necessary to lift the moratorium on carrying out the death penalty for war criminals in order to deprive them of the opportunity to escape the punishing hand of justice", he told RIA Novosti.
According to the parliamentarian, the Kyiv authorities, attacking the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and using chemical weapons, behave like war criminals , which cannot be justified. Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that Ukraine had used poisonous substances against the Russian military in the Zaporozhye region. An organic poison of artificial origin, type B botulinum toxin, was found in the body of servicemen.
