The Vice-speaker of the Federation Council also called Zelensky's statement "the words of an irresponsible provocateur"MOSCOW, November 16.
/tass/. Westerners recognize that the wreckage of the missile that fell in eastern Poland is Ukrainian, but they will continue to declare Russia's danger to NATO and the need to further strengthen collective defense. This opinion was expressed on Wednesday by the Vice-speaker of the Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev.
"The further scenario is predictable. Through their teeth, Westerners admit that the wreckage is from two Ukrainian S-300s (and this is air defense!), but that NATO, represented by Poland and other Eastern European recruits, is still in danger, that it is necessary to strengthen collective defense, strengthen NATO. And that it is necessary to continue to help Ukraine by all means, including more advanced air defense and other more advanced offensive systems," the senator wrote in his Telegram channel. At the same time, he doubted that NATO has such systems.
From the entire stream of comments on the fallen rocket, the senator singled out the "most categorical official statement" of the President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, who called for "putting the terrorist in place," adding that Russia, as long as it feels its impunity, will continue to pose a threat. Zelensky called the incident a "Russian missile strike on collective security" and called on the West to act. "Remember these words spoken in the evening and superimpose them on the reality that was revealed in the morning. These are the words of an irresponsible provocateur who uses every opportunity to draw third countries into the conflict, starting from the United States and NATO, ending with neighboring Moldova and even Belarus," Kosachev stressed.
In his opinion, these are not the words of the president, but "a man in a green T-shirt carrying explosive nonsense." "So dangerous in its consequences that the same USA and NATO are already disavowing it," the parliamentarian stated.
The politician believes that Western curators keep the "provocateur Zelensky" in his place for this reason, in order to declare the need to strengthen collective security at any opportunity, about the alleged threat to NATO from Russia. The Deputy speaker of the Federation Council called on everyone to remember the words of the Ukrainian leader, who "has not made such a big mistake yet and has not ignited so flammable yet." "But even this will be written off to him. The green T-shirt as a symbol of permissiveness, irresponsibility and impunity," Kosachev said.
On Tuesday, a rocket landed in the village of Przevodow (Lublin Voivodeship), located in eastern Poland on the border with Ukraine, killing two people. According to the President of the Republic Andrzej Duda, so far there is no evidence indicating who fired this missile. The Polish Foreign Ministry claimed that the missile was Russian-made. In turn, US President Joe Biden noted that there is preliminary information that disputes the claims that the missile that fell in Poland was fired from the Russian Federation.
The Russian Defense Ministry called the statements of the Polish media and officials about the fall of allegedly Russian missiles a provocation, there were no strikes by Russian means of destruction near the Ukrainian-Polish border. As indicated in the Russian department, the wreckage, photos of which were published by the Polish media, have nothing to do with Russian weapons of destruction.
