Russia’s most senior lawmaker on Saturday accused Washington of coordinating military operations in Ukraine, which he said amounted to direct U.S. involvement in military action against Russia.
“Washington is essentially coordinating and developing military operations, thereby directly participating in military actions against our country,” Vyacheslav Volodin wrote on his Telegram channel.
Washington and European members of the transatlantic NATO alliance have supplied Kyiv with heavy weapons to help it resist a Russian offensive that has resulted in the occupation of parts of eastern and southern Ukraine but failed to take Kyiv.
However, the United States and its NATO allies have repeatedly said they will not take part in fighting themselves, in order to avoid becoming parties to the conflict.
U.S. officials have said the United States has provided intelligence to Ukraine to help counter the Russian assault, but have denied that this intelligence includes precise targeting data.
Volodin, speaker of the lower house of parliament, the Duma, is a prominent advocate of what Moscow calls its “special operation” in Ukraine to degrade its southern neighbour’s military capabilities and root out what it calls fascist elements holding sway over the government and military.
Ukraine and the West say the fascist allegation is baseless, and that Russia has carried out an unprovoked act of aggression. The conflict has killed thousands in Ukraine, and more than five million people have fled the country.
Volodin said foreign advisers had been working in Ukraine since what he called the “coup d’etat”, in an apparent reference to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s democratic election in 2019.

The COUP was in 2014. When the Obama State Dept. overthrew the elected, pro-Russian govt. That IS WHEN the war started. Russia never intended to take Kiev, but it will ( & should ) annex all of the areas friendly w/Russia while destroying the hostile Ukraine/nato army!
According to Jim Stone the Russians have begun issuing draft papers for men of fighting age. This war is deadly serious for the Russians but our idiots in charge don’t seem to grasp that. They seem to think they can confound Russia with playground antics and not be drawn into a conflict they’ll most certainly regret.
Forget trying to make out it’s a tennis match, (back & forth)
The western world is at War.
There’s no other way of dressing it up. It’s mild skirmishes for now, But it will kick-off properly soon enough.
A great wailing & a gnashing of teeth, I’m pretty sure we were forewarned.
YANKEE UK GO HOME !
Reuters = jews = ignore.
in all medias in west we need
aryianisation because they are

“This war is deadly serious for the Russians but our idiots in charge don’t seem to grasp that. They seem to think they can confound Russia with playground antics and not be drawn into a conflict they’ll most certainly regret.”
As it’s your mighty heroic leaders that started it I’m pretty sure they know exactly what they’re doing. Don’t worry, they’ll be fine when the bombs start dropping and the food runs out — they’ve got bolt holes and infinite supplies. You won’t fare so well, but don’t stop waving that flag. “We’re all in it together.”
@pot-bellied pug…….the idiots grasp it very well, don’t you worry! All is planned to go this way. Getting rid of us idiots is the goal. Vlad is trying to save his people.
“Senior Russian lawmaker says U.S. directly involved in Ukraine fighting”. No shit, Sherlock.
@ BETTER THAN
where is gold diamonds + food
there will be robbers + murderers .
