Federation Council: The army will be involved in the event of a threat to the lives of Russians in Ukraine

7

Russia has the right to defend its citizens from any organized armed attack, wherever they live. Told the agency about it Interfax Vice-Speaker of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation Konstantin Kosachev.

The senator stressed that Russia is not going to attack Ukraine, but Moscow has the right to defend its compatriots on its territory if the Ukrainian army is directed against the people. Thus, the Russian army will be involved in the event of a threat to the lives of Russians in Ukraine, and Kiev knows this.



No, and again no, Russia does not hatch plans of its own free will to carry out a military operation against Ukraine

- he asserts.

Kosachev added that Russia was not the first to attack anyone and, it seems to him, Moscow will not have to do this in the future. At the same time, the Russians perfectly see how the situation around Donbass is being artificially escalated. The West is literally pushing Kiev towards aggression against the self-proclaimed DPR and LPR and the beginning of another round of active hostilities in order to try to resolve the “Donbass issue” by military means.

Moreover, the provocateurs both inside and outside Ukraine understand exactly what will happen in this case.

- the politician noted.

He recalled that after what happened in August 2008 in Tskhinvali, the Russians rethought a lot and amendments were made to the legislation of the Russian Federation. For example, in November 2009, in the Federal Law "On Defense", article 10 of which now makes it possible for the operational use of the RF Armed Forces abroad.

We remind you that in April 2018 Kosachev was included in the sanctions list of the US Treasury Department as a "friend of Putin." In March 2019, Canada introduced against policy sanctions due to the incident in the Kerch Strait (occurred in November 2018 at the initiative of the Ukrainian side). Note also that more than 600 thousand citizens of the Russian Federation live compactly in the DPR and LPR.

    The threat to the life of citizens of the Russian Federation in Ukraine has long been.
    In the DPR-LPR, hundreds of thousands of people have passports of the Russian Federation, which means they are citizens of the Russian Federation.
    DPR-LPR shelling every day, is it not a threat to the lives of citizens of the Russian Federation?
    Nevertheless, the Russian Federation has never threatened Ukraine with war.

    "To have the right" and to use it, "these are two big differences," as they say here in Odessa, Pan "senator"! request

    "T (censored) am I trembling, or I have the right?!"

    The States and NATO are now "crying" that they "did not finish off Russia" in the "holy 90s", under EBN, when they had all the opportunities for this ?!
    And all sorts of "Kosachevs" irresponsibly "hype" - they boast about the alleged "protection of Russians outside the borders of the Russian Federation", when "the train left" for a long time, will there be enough courage "to replay everything backwards (" turn the mince backwards "," re-show what is not shown ", .. .) "?! what
    Why are the "Kremlin waiters" and their "servants" (for more than one year calmly watching the death defenseless Russians, including Russian citizens, in neighboring "independent" post-Soviet republics, not to mention, "bashfully swept under the rug", noticeable "internal Russian problems" with "natsrusophobia" in relation to Russian citizens) "did not finish off" the anti-Russian Russophobic "Tbilisi" for the massacre in Tskhinvali, in 2008, and, allegedly "rethinking", then made the same strategic mistake - "did not finish off" the anti-Russian Russophobic "Kiev" in 2014 (both times - in the most favorable military-political conditions for their Victory !!!) ?!
    Or does this Russian politician who talks like this, does not know himself and thinks that no one knows how everything happened then in Tskhinvali ?! And what was happening at the same time in Moscow, in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the General Staff of the Armed Forces under the "iPhone" and "Taburetkin", how and who "on the ground", nevertheless, managed to "settle" - to reverse the created losing situation "helpless indecision and indistinct waiting "of the Kremlin authorities and save Russia from a shameful defeat (just like in Crimea, already at the very last moment!), and what kind of vulgar" debriefing "was carried out by the real Defenders of the Fatherland by their destructive" chief "- furniture "(blaming not themselves for their own egregious" blunders "!!!) ?!
    Everything, Russians "inside Ukraine", we remember well and see "in progress", Pan Kosachev, and therefore "loud words" -bags there is no such "talker-talkers", alas! No.
    IMHO

    For so many years Russia has been indifferent to the Russians who remained abroad after the collapse of the USSR that today Kosachev's words look like a mockery.

    The senator stressed that Russia is not going to attack Ukraine, but Moscow has the right to defend its compatriots on its territory if the Ukrainian army is directed against the people.

    Russia is the legal successor of the USSR, therefore it has the right to protect all citizens of the former USSR. But "has the right" and "will" are a little different. Perhaps this time is right?

    We will soon have 1 million Russians, and the military are all Russians. These "warriors of the world" do not understand that Russia is not Ukraine and will not abandon its own people, no matter what the "all-consuming" and "Putin-lovers" say.
