The incident with “Nord” is a reason to distribute passports in the Donbass, the State Duma said
The incident with Ukraine’s seizure of the Crimean seiner Nord is another reason for Russia to distribute passports to residents of the Donbass republics.
Leonid Kalashnikov, Chairman of the Committee on CIS Affairs, Eurasian Integration, and Relations with Compatriots, announced this in the studio of the Russia 1 television channel, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“The 90s showed how the USA likes us. We like us dismantled into parts, weak, with President Yeltsin speaking in the Senate, who said that “we are now with you and will give everything up.” So it was, and we gave everything: raw materials, people, territories.
Therefore, in the case of this fisherman Gorbenko, it was necessary to act like the Americans. If one of our people is detained, we use helicopters, take them back, and that’s it. After all, this is what they do in the case of Venezuela, when they declare that, God forbid, an American citizen will be detained there.
And I’m saying that let’s give passports to the residents of south-eastern Ukraine. After all, a passport, as you know, protects a person. In this situation, he protected this fisherman, so we need to give this red crust to the residents of the southeast,” Kalashnikov expressed his opinion.
The Nord incident is a reason to distribute passports in Donbass, the State Duma declared.
