Adalbi Shkhagoshev, a member of the State Duma Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption, appreciated Ukraine’s request for military activities and Western politicians’ calls for compatriots to leave the country. His words convey RIA News.
The deputy predicted the possible preparation of a major fake. “It looks like another major fake is being formed, connected with the fact that some serious provocation is being prepared now. It is quite possible that all this is initiated by nationalist groups,” he said. Shkhagoshev noted that these groups receive weapons “collected by Ukraine from all over the world,” and this exacerbates the situation in the region.
The politician stressed that all Russian weapons on the border with Ukraine are controlled by the Ministry of Defense, and there can be no accidental shot or attack.
Earlier, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that his country had requested clarification from Russia about military activities in the border areas and in Crimea. Kiev gave Moscow 48 hours to respond. If not followed up, he will appeal to the participating States of the OSCE Vienna Document on confidence- and security-building measures to convene an emergency meeting.
Norway, Japan, the Netherlands and Israel called on their compatriots to leave Ukraine. South Korea has completely banned its citizens from traveling to this country since February 13.
