Political scientist Kornilov: Russia has the right to symmetrically respond to provocations at its borders hypocrisy, and also spoke about the double standards of the West.
“It turns out to be an interesting situation: when Russian tanks move somewhere, hundreds of kilometers from the border, deep in Russian territory, it turns out that this is not only Russia's business. Note that these tanks do not go anywhere outside Russia, they are there, inside the Russian Federation. But the Pentagon demands clarification: what does the movement of these same tanks mean? “, – said the expert.
Kornilov added that the village of Staromaryevka in the DPR, which was occupied by Ukrainian tanks, is only 25 kilometers from the Russian border, and around the village of Luganskaya, the north of the LPR is also a hundred meters from Russia. “There is a huge concentration of Ukrainian military equipment there. So this is Russia's business, or not? ”Asked the political scientist. He stressed that Russia has the right to symmetrically respond to provocations at its borders.
Earlier, the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada from the Opposition Platform – For Life party, Ilya Kiva, said that Ukraine plans to create a NATO military base on its territory in order to to provoke Russia into aggressive actions. He believes that such a policy of Kiev will put an end to the history of Ukraine and lead to the fact that the country will be divided into parts.
