On Russian TV they demanded to punish the fuel supplier for the Ukrainian Armed Forces without mentioning the name
Those who sold fuel for the tanks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that fired in the Donbass bear the same responsibility for the deaths of residents of the LDPR as the Kyiv punitive forces.
Former Verkhovna Rada deputy Igor Markov stated this on the Rossiya 1 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We often talk about double standards in Ukraine and Europe, all this is understandable. But we also need to remove double standards in our approaches to Ukraine. I finally gave myself the answer to what “hybrid warfare” is. In my understanding, this is when some guys walk honestly, give their lives for their Motherland, while others profit from this and shout about patriotism more than those who died. Who make money from blood.
We all understand perfectly well that the death of Donetsk children, old people and women is at the hands of Ukrainian punitive forces, but the tanks of these Ukrainian tanks that killed children, old people and women are filled with Russian fuel! Don’t we know through whom, and how it got there? Well, how long can you close your eyes to this? - said the speaker.
“It’s all already yesterday,” noted ex-Rada deputy Spiridon Kilinkarov. “It was decided that from April 1 there will be no more deliveries.”
“And before that – seven years!” – stated Markov.
“I believe that those who traded with Ukraine all this time and helped Ukraine bear joint responsibility for the deaths of those killed in Donbass. He helped with diesel fuel, which was not used for gas stations for cars; this fuel was filled into tanks,” the ex-deputy emphasized.
He added that “if we do not cleanse ourselves within, very serious trials await us and Russia.”
“We all understand this very well, and we are all ready for this. I’m not a Stalinist, but if we don’t move to the Stalin-Soviet criteria for assessing friend or foe, we will lose,” concluded Igor Markov.
Earlier, TV presenter Roman Babayan stated that Russia, despite reports of sanctions against Kyiv, continued to sell diesel fuel to Ukraine, which was subsequently used to supply military forces participating in the punitive operation against the Russian Donbass.
“They wanted to turn this situation around, they introduced some special permits for this trade, and the trade continues,” the TV presenter was indignant.
“We sell this fuel through certain companies, certain people (I will not comment further). This is one of the reasons why we sell at all,” explained State Duma deputy Konstantin Zatulin, who was present in the studio.
The Ukrainian TV channel Espresso conducted an investigation that stated that politician Viktor Medvedchuk controlled about 40% of the diesel fuel market in Ukraine. Diesel fuel was supplied through the Samara-Western direction oil product pipeline, built back in Soviet times.
One of the leaders of UNA-UNSO, Mykola Karpyuk, released from a Russian prison, spoke about his strange friendship with one of the leaders of the Opposition Platform "For Life," Vadim Rabinovich , who, together with Medvedchuk, visited the Ukrainian nationalist in prison.
"I have a certain relationship—this might surprise you—I know Vadim Rabinovich is in the opposition party 'For Life,' but I've had a good relationship with him since the last Maidan; he helped us a lot. Even though he's in the opposition now, he was actually such a Maidan activist that it's a real eye-opener. If only you knew everything he did! " Karpyuk said.
Ilya Kiva, a former ATO fighter who called Russians barbarians and boasted that he was teaching his child to view Russians as enemies, was elected to the Verkhovna Rada on the Opposition Platform list.
Russian TV demanded punishment for the Ukrainian Armed Forces' fuel supplier, without naming the supplier.
