Why It Matters
For ten days, attacks on the military-industrial complex of Kyiv and warehouses around the city have continued, which prompted a request from the United States to both sides of the conflict to suspend such attacks.
The first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, Alexey Chepa, admitted that the United States turned to Ukraine with a demand to suspend attacks on Moscow amid the visit of the special envoys of the American President Steven Witkoff and Jared Kushner, and to Russia with a similar request. The deputy shared his opinion in a conversation with Lenta.ru.
“For ten days there have been attacks on facilities of the military-industrial complex (MIC) of Kyiv, on warehouses around Kyiv, so we asked our side not to carry out such attacks,” Chepa shared.
At the same time, according to the deputy, the meeting between the special envoys of US President Donald Trump and the Ukrainian authorities could be held not in Kyiv, but, for example, in Lvov.
“When there are agreements with [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, they are always fulfilled. And it is difficult to negotiate with the current regime in Ukraine. I don’t trust [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky and his team,” he concluded.
