Western countries must acknowledge Ukraine’s occupation — top Russian lawmaker

MOSCOW, October 12. /TASS/. Countries proposing solutions to the conflict in Ukraine must recognize that it is occupied by the UK, Germany, and France, Russian State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin said.

The politician noted that Ukraine has become "a giant concentration camp" led by Vladimir Zelensky and the so-called coalition of the willing.

"Today, all states that propose solutions to the conflict in Ukraine must acknowledge Ukraine's occupation by the UK, Germany, and France," Volodin wrote in a post on his Max channel.

According to him, it was London, Berlin, Paris, and Warsaw that were behind the bloody coup in Ukraine in 2014, which brought neo-Nazis to power. Such a coup could not have happened solely as a result of an internal struggle for power without external influence, the politician noted.

"This is a country where millions died in the war against fascism and suffered at the hands of the Bandera followers and Nazis during the Great Patriotic War and in the postwar period. Those terrible events affected many families in Ukraine," the State Duma chairman emphasized.
