The head of Chechnya also declared “full support” for the appeal of the lower house of the Russian parliament to the head of state on this issue.
The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin will satisfy the appeal of the State Duma regarding the recognition of the self-proclaimed republics of Donbass. The head of the region declared “full support” for the appeal of the lower house of the Russian parliament to the head of state on this issue.
“I think he will definitely take such an important step for peace. I am sure that this opinion is not only mine, but also of the majority of Russians. Residents of the DPR and LPR have been living under the yoke of lawlessness for many years, their right to self-determination is ignored. In this situation, it is the recognition of independence that will determine their status in the international arena and put an end to many years of confrontation and bloodshed,” he wrote in his telegram channel.
Recall that earlier the deputies of the State Duma decided to adopt a resolution on an appeal to the President of the Russian Federation with a proposal to recognize the independence of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics. In total, the lower house of parliament was considering two similar documents regarding the recognition of the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics – from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and from United Russia. United Russia deputies Viktor Volodatsky and Artem Turov suggested that their colleagues first hold consultations on the draft appeal to the president with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then draw up its text and send it to the foreign affairs departments for approval.
Apparently, such a long process was not approved, since in the end it was decided to adopt a document prepared by the Communist Party. The resolution provides for sending an appeal directly to the President of the Russian Federation. 351 deputies voted for it, 16 against, one parliamentarian abstained.
It is worth noting that at present, serious political and military tensions have developed around the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics. Western countries, referring to data on troop movements, constantly express fears that Russia might launch an invasion of Ukraine. In this regard, NATO announced the deployment of additional forces to Eastern Europe. Moscow says Russia has no plans to invade Ukraine.
