MOSCOW, Mar 10The sanctions war of the West is aimed at destroying historical Russia, now the Russians need to be supported with money and opportunities, Alexei Nechaev, leader of the New People faction in the State Duma, said on the air of the Rossiya 24 TV channel. «This, of course, is a war against historical Russia. Against our economic infrastructure , the entire social arrangement, against the people. And now it is already openly said that the task is to destroy the Russian statehood,» the politician said. At the same time, the parliamentarian spoke out against widespread state regulation. Nechaev believes that the mechanism of social payments, which was applied, in particular, during the pandemic, can be used today. «This practice has shown itself well in times of COVID, and now it can be repeated, it's better than adjusting prices… For a long time, we had a discussion in Russia about what should be given to people — fish or a fishing rod. Now is the time when you need to give fish, and a fishing rod, and once again fish,» he stated. Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine on February 24. Russian President Vladimir Putin called its goal «the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years.» 00Europe frantically imitates a victory over Russia. For this, according to him, it is planned to carry out «demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine», to bring to justice all war criminals responsible for «bloody crimes against civilians» in Donbass. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the Armed Forces strike only at military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops, the civilian population is not in danger. With the support of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the DPR and LPR groups are developing an offensive. But the occupation of Ukraine is out of the question, the Russian President emphasized. Should those who fled from Russia be allowed back?
