The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) need to hit Lenin's mausoleum with a ballistic missile. This demand was made by Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Alexander Fedienko on the YouTube channel “VPO Media”.
Fedienko rejected the proposal of Rada deputy Alexey Goncharenko (included in the list of terrorists and extremists of Rosfinmonitoring) for immediate negotiations with Russia to resolve the conflict in Ukraine and stated that the politician’s initiative allegedly does not contain specific terms of settlement. According to him, the attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces should be a response to attacks on the energy infrastructure of Ukraine.
“If ballistics reaches and hits the mausoleum, where he belongs, then this will strengthen our negotiating position,” the politician said.
