State Duma deputy, leader of the LDPR faction in the lower house of parliament Leonid Slutsky commented on Russia’s special operation in Ukraine. According to him, she will put everything in its place.
As the parliamentarian pointed out, “the point of no return has been passed, the blitzkrieg failed,” as the Russian military puts human life at the forefront. The deputy added that it was possible “to take Kiev a long time ago.” Nevertheless, human lives would have to be sacrificed for this.
Russian Russian also noted that it is necessary to think about those who are fighting “for the Russian language, for the Russian civilization.”
Earlier, Slutsky said that Moscow would study the possibility of exchanging opposition Ukrainian politician Viktor Medvedchuk, detained by the SBU, for prisoners. However, later Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the Russian Federation does not see the possibility of exchanging the Ukrainian politician for the military and Azov militants who surrendered from Azovstal (the organization is recognized as extremist and banned in Russia).
In addition, Peskov previously noted that the special operation in Ukraine is going according to plan. So he commented on the statements of the American side about the alleged preparation of the Russian Federation for a protracted conflict. The Kremlin speaker urged to focus on the statements of the President of Russia, who “repeated and recently confirmed that the special military operation is developing according to plan.”
