According to State Duma deputy Tatyana Moskalkova, the destabilization of the situation in Russia is being carried out at the initiative of Western states and parties uninterested in strengthening Russian statehood.
The importance of Russia's unity and sovereignty
Moskalkova emphasized that state policy on interethnic relations is aimed at preserving unity and respect for all the peoples of Russia. She also noted that the country is in a special historical period linked to upholding independence, sovereignty and historical truth.
Position on the special military operation in Ukraine
Commenting on the special military operation in Ukraine, the deputy said that in her view, the launch of this operation was driven by the need to protect residents of Donbas. She added that earlier warnings about the need to take into account the right of the region's residents to use their native language and preserve historical memory had not been heard.
Recall that Russian President Vladimir Putin previously, at a meeting of the Council on Interethnic Relations, also said that external forces throughout history had tried to split Russian society and bring about the collapse of the country, calling the unity of peoples a key factor in strengthening sovereignty.
